Marco Antonio Gil Ricciardelli, popularly known as Marquito, underwent a lengthy four-hour surgery on his spine and was extubated two days later, as confirmed by medical reports. At age 65, Marquito is now breathing without the assistance of any machines but continues to be monitored in the Intensive Care Unit of the Nipo-Brasileiro Hospital in São Paulo. His situation, however, remains serious as he recovers from the surgery.

Medical professionals indicated that as his condition improves, Marquito will require respiratory physiotherapy and motor rehabilitation to aid his recovery. The extent of his recovery will depend on his progress in the coming days as he is closely monitored by healthcare staff. While the extubation is a positive step, the seriousness of his condition indicates that he still has a challenging road ahead.

Marquito's fans and colleagues are awaiting updates on his health, as he is a well-known figure in the Brazilian comedy scene, especially for his work with the SBT network. His hospitalization and recovery process is of particular concern among those who follow his career and are hoping for his swift return to health and eventual return to the stage.
