Melania Trump, President Donald Trump’s wife, underwent a surgical procedure on Monday to treat a benign kidney condition and will remain at Walter Reed medical center for the rest of the week, the first lady’s office said.
Spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said in a statement Mrs. Trump, 48, underwent an embolization procedure to treat the kidney condition.
“The procedure was successful and there were no complications,” Grisham said.
“The first lady looks forward to a full recovery so she can continue her work on behalf of children everywhere.”
President Trump was expected to visit her at the hospital, which is located in Bethesda, Maryland, a Washington suburb, a White House official said.
The Slovenian-born first lady last week rolled out an agenda for her White House work focused on helping children.
