Brazilian football legend Pele was released from hospital Saturday following prostate surgery, doctors said, after his latest health scare. The Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo released a picture of a smiling Pele wearing sportswear and waving at the camera with his partner, Marcia Cibele Aoki.
The 74-year-old, who was treated at the same facility last year for a severe urinary tract infection, was discharged at 6:30 pm (2130 GMT), it said.
The only player to win three World Cup titles underwent a surgical procedure four days ago known as a transurethral resection of the prostate, which is performed for enlargement of the prostate that causes difficulty urinating.
