Maran HaGaon HaRav Ovadia Yosef Shlita is out of surgery after a pacemaker was successfully inserted to stabilize the gadol hador’s heartbeat and improve his cardiac function. Kikar Shabbat repots the procedure was conducted under local anesthesia as planned.
Family members of the rav are calling on the tzibur around the world to be mispallel on his behalf.
The rav felt ill on Shabbos and he did not participate in minyan in his beis medrash. His physician decided on motzei Shabbos to have him readmitted to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital. Earlier on Sunday morning, 18 Tishrei 5774 it was reported that doctors were concerned with diminished kidney function.
Later in the day there were reports of a “critical surgical procedure” which appears to have been the insertion of a pacemaker.
The tzibur is urged to be mispallel on Rav Ovadia’s behalf.

There is a story posted just above this one saying that the Rav is NOT doing well and his condition has considerably worsened. There are too many commentators offering incorrect information. Everyone should daven for the Rav’s refuah shelamah.
