Clinica Universidad del La Sabana have dubbed Egan Bernal’s second spinal surgery in 10 days a success.

So now to recover and make this another one…I’M BACK.”
The hospital in Bogota stated there had been no complications during the surgery on the cervical section of Bernal’s spine. They also said the objectives of the surgery were achieved, “with excellent clinical results.”
