Flavio Briatore underwent heart surgery at the San Raffaele hospital in Milan for a benign tumor . The entrepreneur, after the operation, was discharged.

The entrepreneur himself announced it on social media: «Following a routine check-up I underwent heart surgery because I had a benign mass which was removed with a minimal invasive procedure , using an endoscopic technique», he wrote.

«The surgery was a perfect success», he concluded by thanking «Prof. Francesco Maisano, the Cardiac Surgical Intensive Care Team and the legendary 1st Q Department of San Raffaele». In addition to the doctors, he wanted to thank Elisabetta Gregoraci, who was at his side during this period, as well as his son Nathan Falco, who came from Monaco.

Now he will have to undergo routine checks, but no chemotherapy or radiotherapy sessions.

This experience teaches, Briatore underlines, that "medical prevention is fundamental" .

«They were intense and difficult days but we overcame them together», wrote Elisabetta Gregoraci, posting some photos taken together with Briatore at San Raffaele on Instagram . The showgirl says she has been close to her ex-husband in the last ten days, for this «delicate and unexpected operation and post-operative recovery. Let's take this moment to remind ourselves how futile everything is with respect to health. We go back home".
