    British supermodel Naomi Campbell was recovering in a Sao Paulo hospital on Tuesday (February 26) from an emergency abdominal surgery to remove a cyst, according to hospital officials and her spokesman.
    Thirty-seven-year-old Campbell was admitted on Monday (February 25) 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.
    According to her spokesman in Los Angeles, the supermodel is now recovering from what he said was a successful procedure.

    Campbell often visits Brazil, where she has been known to show up at Carnival festivities and is frequently photographed at parties with Brazilian celebrities.
