STORY: Francis, 86, underwent a three-hour operation in a Rome hospital on Wednesday (June 7) to repair a hernia, which doctors said was successful enough that he should have no limitations on his travels and other activities after he recovers.

According to the chief surgeon who operated on the pontiff, Francis is expected to be in hospital for about 5-7 days.

The Vatican said all of the pope's private and general audiences had been canceled until June 18 as a precautionary measure.
