Singer Giorgos Mazonakis discharged after successful gallbladder surgery

Popular singer Giorgos Mazonakis was discharged from the Metropolitan Hospital in Phaliro on the morning of Sunday, February 15, 2026, after five days of hospitalization. He was initially admitted on Tuesday, February 10, presenting with a high fever and severe abdominal pain, which was reportedly linked to a viral infection or Influenza Type A. During clinical examinations, doctors discovered cholelithiasis (gallstones), leading to a decision for surgical intervention. On Saturday, February 14, at 7:00 AM, he underwent a successful laparoscopic procedure to remove his gallbladder, performed by surgeon Christos Zafeiriou. While one source indicated a planned discharge for Monday, February 16, official reports confirmed he left the facility at 11:30 AM on Sunday to continue his recovery at home. Despite the illness, Mazonakis reportedly requested permission to perform at his scheduled venue during his stay, which was denied by medical staff. His psychological state was described as positive throughout the procedure and recovery period.
