In intensive care
Italy: Explorer rescued from cave operated on
Ottavia Piana, the 32-year-old speleologist from Brescia in northern Italy, who was injured and stuck in a cave in the province of Bergamo for more than three days and was rescued on Wednesday night, has undergone surgery. This stabilized the more serious fractures she sustained when she fell into the gorge on Saturday afternoon.

The patient is in intensive care and is in good condition, the doctors announced on Thursday.
Italian woman apologized for efforts to save her
The cave explorer was rescued from the Abisso Bueno Fonteno cave near Bergamo on Wednesday night after a spectacular 72-hour rescue operation. "Ottavia Piana had been lying on a cot for three days, her legs were swollen, she was tired and spoke little. She apologized for the great effort involved in rescuing her," said Sara Frasciatti, a nurse who took part in the rescue operation.
159 people from 13 different regions, including South Tyrol and Trentino, took part in the rescue. Piana, who already had to be rescued from the same cave two years ago, says she will now refrain from further cave adventures for the time being.
