Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi underwent a successful hip replacement surgery on Saturday at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, a U.S. military hospital in Germany, following a fall in Luxembourg. The 84-year-old Democrat was part of a bipartisan congressional delegation commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge. Pelosi tripped and fell during an event, fracturing her hip, according to sources familiar with her injury. She expressed gratitude to the medical staff at both Landstuhl Regional Medical Center at Landstuhl Army Base and Hospital Kirchberg in Luxembourg for their care. Pelosi, who served as Speaker twice and stepped down from her leadership role two years ago, was reelected to represent her San Francisco district in November.
