Naomi Campbell Isn’t Feeling Well

According to one of her doctors, she underwent a laparoscopy, a technique used for stomach operations.

Josi Aristodemo Pinotti, the doctor who reportedly operated on Campbell, said: “I’m not authorized to reveal what Naomi had, not even how serious the condition, but I can say she was operated on…and is completely cured.

“It was an emergency operation but everything went well. There were no incidents or any problems that worried me during the surgery.

“The whole procedure was done through laparoscopy, without the need to go through the traditional method, which would mean opening the stomach.”

Campbell checked into the hospital on Sunday night, while the procedure reportedly took place between 10pm last night and 3am this morning.

She remains hospitalised but is said to be recovering well on a post-operation liquid diet, according to reports.

Infections specialist David Uip is supervising her treatment.

“I am her doctor. She came to Brazil for a treatment. She has been hospitalized since Sunday. That is all I can say,” Uip said.

Laparoscopy surgery, also called pinhole surgery, is technique in which operations in the abdomen are performed through incisions under an inch, much smaller than traditional procedures.

It can involve operations in the stomach or the pelvic cavity. It uses a telescopic rod lens system, usually connected to a video camera. One of the most common operations the technique is used for is the removal of a gall bladder.

Please tell me Naomi Campbell did not go to a South American country just to have her gall bladder removed.
