Antonella Clerici returns home after the emergency operation on her ovaries and thanks the fans “for their affection and closeness”. “It’s better and I’m finally back in my #casanelbosco among trees, nature, animals. Now a bit of convalescence and the need to take time that I never have. Giving value even to idleness and sometimes stopping”, she writes on her the presenter’s Instagram profile.
The face of ‘It’s always midday’ was hospitalized last week in Rome, after a check-up which revealed the need for immediate oophorectomy surgery. Antonella posts a photo of herself in her home in Arquata Scriviaon the border between Piedmont and Liguria, where he lives with his partner Vittorio Garrone and his daughter Maelle.
Many messages of encouragement and support, from common fans and many well-known faces of the show. “A tight hug”, writes Giorgia. Three little hearts are the message from Lorella Cuccarini, while Mara Venier writes: “A big kiss Anto”. Among the messages also those from Francesca Fagnani, Francesca Michielin, Elisa Isoardi, Alberto Matano, Andrea Delogu and many others.
The surgeon: “No worries, histological results in 2 weeks”
After the operation “there are not many fears about the diagnosis” conclusion of her ovarian problem. However, the histological results are awaited and “will be available in 2 weeks”. But the experience “presumes a reassuring outcome”, explains to Adnkronos Salute the surgeon who operated on the presenter, Enrico Vizza, member of the board of directors of the Italian Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics (Sigo) and director of the Department of Clinical and Research oncology at the Regina Elena Cancer Institute in Rome.
“The operation went very well. It was performed laparoscopically, with very small instruments, 3 millimetres, with a very small scar. From an aesthetic point of view, in practice, nothing will be seen”, says the surgeon, recalling that “it all arose from an ovarian cyst whose ultrasound image had changed in recent months, so it was necessary to intervene very quickly to have a histological examination, still in progress, capable of indicating the nature of the formation. The definitive confirmation was we will only have it in the next few weeks.” The danger, however, “has in a certain sense receded, fears are low on an oncological level”.
A story, continues Vizza, which “demonstrates the importance of early diagnosis”. And also that of “prevention for women. Women’s health is much more complex than that of men, they must undergo more checks on a regular basis. Particularly in some moments of life – menopause and perimenopause in particular – in which the incidence of some tumors increases: uterus, endometrium, ovary, breast, colon”. The story of Antonella Clerici, concludes the specialist, “shows that checks are necessary even if there is an alteration that seems benign: we still need to keep it under control and not be afraid to check. We must remember that today we are able to carry out interventions, even complex ones, with a very limited impact in terms of scar and quality of life”.
