Wife to United States president, Melania Trump underwent kidney surgery on Monday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center near Washington, DC.
The First Lady’s office announced on Monday that Ms Trump underwent an embolization procedure, likely to remove a cyst from her kidney. Ms Trump had been experiencing an issue with her kidney that her office described as benign but requiring medical attention.
The statement reads: “This morning, First Lady Melania Trump underwent an embolization procedure to treat a benign kidney condition.
“The procedure was successful and there were no complications. Mrs. Trump is at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and will likely remain there for the duration of the week.”
“The First Lady looks forward to a full recovery so she can continue her work on behalf of children everywhere,” Stephanie Grisham added, in reference to Melania’s recently launched campaign.
