Bolsonaro has already undergone several operations since an attack on him during the election campaign in September 2018. Back then, a man stabbed him in the stomach with a knife and seriously injured him.
The ex-president is currently facing charges for allegedly planning a coup against the government of his successor Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva following his election defeat in October 2022. In March, the Supreme Court admitted the charges against the former head of state and seven alleged co-conspirators. If convicted, he could face several years in prison.
