- ANKARA: Turkey’s state-run news agency says Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been discharged from hospital a day after undergoing what officials said was a “second and final” intestinal surgery.
The Anadolu Agency said Erdogan left hospital late on Sunday and was expected to rest at his home in Istanbul.
The 57-year-old Erdogan vanished from public life for nearly a month after an initial surgery on Nov. 26 for non-cancerous intestinal polyps.
His office said he had a second, successful half-hour procedure on Saturday but gave no other details.
It said Erdogan was well and was expected to resume work within the next week.
