CAIRO — Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak underwent a successful operation in Germany on Saturday to remove his gall bladder after temporarily handing over power to the prime minister, the state- owned news agency reported.
The 81-year-old leader, who has governed for nearly three decades, was diagnosed with “severe inflammation of his gall bladder” after tests at a hospital in Heidelberg, according to MENA.
Markus Buechler, the head abdominal surgeon at the hospital, said Mubarak will be under medical observation until he has fully recovered.
