A renowned Sevillian bullfighter is currently admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a Seville hospital, after sustaining a severe goring during a bullfight at the Maestranza.

The bullfighter was urgently transferred to Hospital Viamed Santa Ángela de la Cruz in Seville, where he underwent a complex surgical intervention. The operation aimed to repair the damage caused by the wound, including the reconstruction of the sphincters, following the incident that occurred last Monday at the Maestranza bullring.
The medical report issued after the surgery detailed the seriousness of the injury, describing a bull horn wound in the posterior anal margin with a trajectory of approximately 10 centimeters. This wound partially affected the anal sphincter musculature and caused a 1.5-centimeter perforation in the posterior wall of the rectum.
Surgeons performed a thorough cleaning of the wound, proceeded with the repair of the rectal wall and the sphincter apparatus, and placed an aspirative drain in the post-anal and retro-rectal space. The initial prognosis was classified as «very serious», which prevented the bullfighter from continuing the fight and required immediate hospitalization.
Although his current condition is reported as stable, the bullfighter's evolution remains critical and requires constant medical surveillance. This incident has caused deep shock and concern within the bullfighting world, generating numerous expressions of support and solidarity for the bullfighter from various sectors of society. Fans and the general public are eagerly awaiting further news on his health, wishing him a speedy recovery.
