SAO PAULO, Feb 26 (Reuters) - British supermodel Naomi Campbell is recovering from emergency abdominal surgery in a Sao Paulo hospital, hospital officials said on Tuesday.

Campbell, 37, was admitted late on Sunday to the Hospital Sirio-Libanes, one of Sao Paulo's best hospitals. The hospital confirmed that Campbell was in its care but declined to elaborate on her condition.

But the surgeon who operated on her, Dr. Jose Aristodemo Pinotti, said she underwent laparoscopic surgery on Monday night and that she was recovering well.

"I'm not authorized to reveal what Naomi had, nor the gravity of the condition, but I can say I operated on her yesterday and that she is completely cured," Pinotti told Brazilian news agency Estado.

"It was an emergency operation, but everything went well. There were no incidents or any problems that worried me during the operation," he added.

Campbell often visits Brazil, where she has been known to show up at Carnival festivities and is frequently photographed at parties with Brazilian celebrities. (Reporting by Todd Benson; Editing by Frances Kerry)
