Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will undergo a new procedure on Thursday following up on an unplanned surgery earlier this week for a brain bleed, doctors said. The minimally invasive procedure aims to stop persistent bleeding on the surface of the brain.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva underwent a second procedure on Thursday morning following his emergency brain surgery earlier this week, his doctor said, adding the operation was successful.

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is recovering in an ICU after undergoing surgery to drain an intracranial hemorrhage following a fall at home in October.
