Pope Francis recovering well after hernia surgery, says Vatican.

The operation was performed at Rome's Gemelli hospital, where the pope is expected to spend the next few days recovering. The Vatican has canceled all of the pope's scheduled appointments until June 18. The pope's doctors continue to monitor his progress, and he has responded well to follow-up tests after getting a peaceful night of sleep.
