Prime Minister Sharif left for London on 22 May and was scheduled to return by Friday. However, he postponed his return following medical reports suggesting the procedure, The Express Tribune reported.

The Prime Minister's daughter, Maryam Nawaz, confirmed the development, saying doctors recommended the surgery after "thorough scans and tests".
"The recovery period and hospital stay will be one week," she tweeted.
