Argentina's Fernandez surgery was successful: report (Reuters)

BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) ? Argentine President Cristina Fernandez was successfully operated on for thyroid cancer on Wednesday, local TV station Cronica said.

The government last week announced her diagnosis of papillary carcinoma, detected during a routine medical checkup just before Christmas. Doctors have said the 58-year-old president has a better than 90 percent chance of recovery.
