Alberto Peláez Undergoes Urgent Surgery for Diverticula

Televisa's correspondent in Spain, Alberto Peláez, was hospitalized urgently due to stomach problems that required surgery to remove some diverticula that had been bothering him for more than 15 years. Peláez shared the news through his social media before being taken to the operating room.

In his posts, the journalist expressed his confidence that everything would go well and described the operation as painful. After the surgery, he revealed that he had lost 20 centimeters of intestine and was in intensive care, although he soon expected to be transferred to the ward.

Peláez, recognized for his coverage of international events, was forced to undergo the surgery due to the presence of diverticula in his intestine, a condition that had caused him discomfort for years. Although his situation was not as critical as that of journalist André Marín, who passed away after facing similar health complications, the surgery was urgent given the intense discomfort that Peláez was suffering in his stomach.

During his stay in the hospital, Peláez updated his followers about his health status and detailed the moment before the surgery. His admirers remained alert to the news and sent him messages of support during his recovery.
