“The princess’ office at Kensington Palace didn’t offer further details, but said that her condition wasn’t cancerous. “

Have searched everywhere and this is as much as has been reported in the major media.

It does seem odd that this detail was not in the official statement.

Are they supposed to list all the things her condition is not?

Royal Reporter Explains Why Journalists Have Been Given an Extra Piece of Medical Info About Kate Middleton

https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a46437941/why-royal-journalists-have-extra-info-kate-middleton-condition/

The palace hasn't released further updates regarding Kate's surgery, but royal reporters, including Roya Nikkhah, noted that "it is understood the Princess’s condition is non-cancerous"—a clarification that was not part of Kensington Palace's statement and has led to questions about where this info came from.

Rebecca English from the Daily Mail elaborated on the reporting process, explaining, "For those commenting on why journalists have specified the princess’ condition is ‘non-cancerous’ when she is keeping details of her condition private, it is because aides are happy for us to publicly share that information in order to minimise public concern about her condition."

In other words, this information came straight from the palace in an attempt to reassure the public.

The plastic surgery or "injury" crowd seem a bit far afield.

What digestive-related surgery would possibly require that long of a hospital stay and recovery?

Colon resection can be required for a variety of reasons. Hospital stay and recovery from that surgery can be 2 weeks for a variety of reasons.

Agree that was my first thought. She could have an colo/ileostomy may be temporary or permanent depending. She could have severe diverticulitis/osis, colitis, etc. This could require an extended hospital stay, not usually 14 days or whatever they’re saying though. That’s almost unheard of with any surgery.

Nobody wants to be out hugging strangers and greeting crowds with an ostomy bag.

My friend’s husband had one for a long time and was very sensitive about the smell of it.

That is a little weird because they don't smell...

From med sites:

Your pouch may release an odor that's noticeable to others if there's a leak or if you eat foods that cause a lot of smelly gas that can't be filtered.

You will also notice smell when changing or emptying the pouch.

He always looks like that, that's just his face.

He just looks serious. It doesn’t ring any alarm bells for me.

Yeah. And a little tired—-like anyone with young kids and juggling a loved one in the hospital.

Yeah duh if it leaks or you eat something wrong it smells, just like it smells if you crap your pants or fart. But if you’re just doing it everything right, the bag doesn’t smell.

Anyways, best of health to princess Kate who in all likely is not getting a bag.

Mostly annoyed because there’s a camera directly in his face. There’s zero you can conclude from this pic.

How about a necrotic gallbladder or appendix? Maybe they went in for a routine cholecystectomy or appy and there was necrosis, which could require a more lengthy hospital stay and/or a course of iv antibiotics and drains etc. Still not requiring a two week stay but who knows.

Yes, but in general, they don't smell or leak. They're not noticeable under clothes. It takes less than 5 minutes to change a pouch. I've had lots of patients with a stoma and a bag and it's just not that big of a deal.

My friend wears a belly band type thing to protect the site and it smooths out any lines you might see at the same time. You’d never know, and with proper care and planning, no one she meets would smell it.

To them it’s huge. I’m sure it’s hard to feel sexy or want to have your partner see it.
