SÃO PAULO, SP (UOL/FOLHAPRESS) - Marcos Oliveira, 70, remains hospitalized at Hospital São Lucas, in Copacabana, in the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro, while he recovers from surgery performed to treat an infection in the perineum region.

Medical discharge still depends on the body's response to antibiotic treatment. In conversation with UOL, Rose Scalco, the actor's friend and lawyer, informed that Marcos will remain hospitalized until he completes treatment with intravenous antibiotics.

"Initially, he will be hospitalized until the end of the antibiotic, which has to be injectable", said Rose Scaldo.

According to Rose, the actor is also undergoing new tests to monitor the evolution of his clinical condition. The objective is to check whether the antibiotics are effective in combating the infection in the perineum, which led to the surgery carried out on Thursday (02). Marcos is expected to remain hospitalized until the end of this week.

Cida Cabral, director of Retiro dos Artistas, the institution where the actor lives, stated that the recovery is as expected. "The surgery was successful, but observation is necessary," he told UOL.

Known for playing Beiçola in A Grande Família, Marcos underwent surgery after being diagnosed with an infection in his perineum. In a video published on social media shortly after the procedure, the actor said he was experiencing severe pain before the operation. “It was a lot of pain and a lot of suffering,” he reported.
