Bindi Irwin, the 26-year-old wildlife conservationist, was hospitalized for emergency surgery in the US, where 14 endometriosis lesions were discovered alongside the removal of her ruptured appendix and repair of a hernia from childbirth. She expressed gratitude for the medical team’s assistance and confirmed the surgery was successful, marking a step toward recovery. Irwin missed the annual Steve Irwin Gala due to the situation, thanking her family, especially her brother Robert, for their support during her health challenges.
