Diego Armando Maradona He was operated on Tuesday night (3) in Buenos Aires due to a hematoma on the brain. The current coach of Gimnasia La Plata had an accumulated clot in the subdural region due to strokes, according to doctors. The surgery, at the Olivos Clinic, lasted two hours.
“We were able to successfully evacuate this chronic hematoma. Diego endured the surgery very well. Are you awake. Everything is fine ”, the neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque told the press.
At age 60, Maradona entered the Ipensa clinic in La Plata on Monday after feeling ill. A series of tests showed that the former midfielder has bruises on his head possibly caused by recent blows. This type of head injury must be resolved quickly because the accumulated blood can put pressure on the brain. For this reason, the neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque decided to transfer him to the hospital in the Argentine capital.
Maradona left the La Plata clinic around 7 in the afternoon, accompanied by Gianinna, one of his daughters, and an hour later he arrived in Olivos. The surgery began around 10 at night. The team operated by the former player consisted of seven professionals. Maradona was transferred to the ICU, where he will be under observation. The possibility of sequelae is not ruled out.
Possible risk factors for this injury include age and alcohol abuse. Last week, Maradona barely turned 60, which he turned on Friday, because he was already in poor health.
The former player ate little, seemed weak and played little in the match played on Friday between Gimnasia La Plata and Patronato. Maradona was only present for the first 18 minutes and then left the stadium.
The initial prediction was that the former player would be discharged on Tuesday, but the test results have changed plans. At a press conference prior to the diagnosis of the hematoma, Leopoldo Luque even said that the Argentine idol was fine.
During the first hours of hospitalization, the doctors detected that Maradona had anemia. This Tuesday, he woke up in a good mood and even asked to leave the hospital, but bruises were discovered on his brain and surgery was necessary. Now, stay in care.
HISTORY OF PROBLEMS – The clot in the subdural region (between the skull and the brain) is the latest chapter in a long history of health problems faced by Maradona. He has a series of emergency passes through hospitals, either for overdose or hepatitis.
The Argentine had the first big scare in January 2000. Maradona was staying at a luxury resort in Punta del Este, Uruguay, when he suffered a cocaine overdose, suffered a hypertensive crisis and was rushed to a hospital.
After recovering from the shock, Maradona began the fight against drug addiction and moved to Cuba, where he went to a clinic. Years later, in 2004, he fell into a coma after arriving at a hospital in Buenos Aires with heart and respiratory problems. Shortly after his discharge, the former player decided to undergo bariatric surgery to lose weight.
In March 2005, the Argentine was operated in Colombia. He weighed about 130 kg and managed to lose 50 kg. However, he had new health problems two years later. In the first half of 2007 it was time for hepatitis to take him back to the hospital. After cocaine and being overweight, alcohol consumption was the villain of the moment.
Soon after, Maradona decided to undergo psychiatric treatment to combat alcoholism. In May 2007 he declared that he had managed to stop drinking and had stopped using drugs.
After more than a decade away from serious problems, Maradona took good care of his joints, especially his left knee. The Argentine began to walk with difficulty and avoided standing for a long time to avoid feeling more pain. In his most recent coaching job, he mostly watched games while sitting on a lawn chair.
In January 2019, a new scare arrived: Maradona had a stomach hemorrhage from a hernia and underwent a new operation in Buenos Aires. Months later, in July, the Argentine underwent surgery again, but this time to place a prosthesis on his right knee, which no longer had cartilage.
In 2020 he resumed a strict plan of physical exercise and regular diet. He lost 11 kg.
