Pele is recovering from prostate surgery in a Sao Paulo hospital. He underwent a procedure called transurethral resection of the prostate, which is usually needed to relieve urinary symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate. The hospital did not release many details, but Brazilian media said the surgery was on Tuesday after Pele complained of urinary problems. The surgery was conducted reportedly to help prevent a urinary tract infection similar to the one that hospitalized him for two weeks almost five months ago.
