Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva will undergo another surgery, doctors at the Sirio-Libanes hospital where the leader is being treated said on Wednesday.

The minimally invasive procedure that doctors will perform on Mr Da Silva, known as Lula, is called middle meningeal artery embolisation and aims to stop persistent bleeding on the surface of the brain, according to the University of California San Francisco’s definition.
