Bindi Irwin has broken her silence after being rushed to hospital in Las Vegas on Saturday.
The conservationist, 26, suffered a ruptured appendix and was raced into surgery just hours after touching down in America for a gala honouring her late father Steve.
She shared a video from her hospital bed to Instagram on Monday and revealed her surgery has been a success.
Bindi said her appendix, along with another 14 lesions, were removed.
She also had a large hernia repaired which she got after giving birth to daughter Grace, four, in 2021.
‘I am so thankful that I got the help I needed with Dr. Seckin and Dr. Chu at Lenox Hill Hospital. After many months of a grumbly appendix, I finally had to seek help the day of our Steve Irwin Gala,’ she wrote.
‘After consulting with Dr. Seckin, we agreed that if I flew to New York, he could also check for endometriosis again. Surgery was a success.
‘My appendix was removed, along with another 14 lesions (after having 37 endometriosis lesions and a cyst removed two years ago). I also had a repair to a large hernia I acquired through childbirth four years ago.’
Bindi said she is thankful to be on ‘the road to recovery’ and thanked fans for all their kind messages.
