US fastfood giant McDonald’s has said that its newly-appointed chief executive, Charlie Bell, underwent successful colo-rectal cancer surgery yesterday [Wednesday].

McDonald’s said that during Bell’s recuperation, which is expected to be brief, he remains president and chief executive of the company.
