\u00c9dgar Vivar<\/strong>, the beloved Mexican actor known for his roles in El Chavo del 8<\/em> and Neighbors<\/em>, is preparing for a delicate spinal surgery.

At 77 years old, Vivar faces increased risks that come with age and pre-existing health issues.<\/p>\n In a recent statement to Televisa Shows<\/em>, Vivar acknowledged, \u201cMy spine is deviated, so they have to do spinal rectification, but it requires six months of rest.\u201d This significant time off will temporarily sideline him from his professional commitments.<\/p>\n Vivar has openly discussed that he currently has five stents in his coronary arteries<\/strong>. This cardiovascular condition complicates the upcoming surgery but he remains optimistic. \u201cWith physical therapy, I can cope with it, but the treatment inevitably has to be surgical,\u201d he stated.
