Melania Trump returns to White House after kidney surgery
Washington, May 20: US First Lady Melania Trump has returned to the White House after undergoing kidney surgery, said her office.
"The First Lady returned home to the White House this morning," her office said in a statement on Saturday, Xinhua reported.
"She is resting comfortably and remains in high spirits," the statement said.
On Monday, Trump, 48, underwent "an embolisation procedure to treat a benign kidney condition" at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, state of Maryland.
"The procedure was successful and there were no complications," according to her office. "The first lady looks forward to a full recovery."
President Donald Trump visited his wife on Monday evening at the military hospital, where she stayed after the procedure.
Trump welcomed Melania home in a tweet Saturday afternoon, saying that she "is feeling and doing really well."
The president misspelled her name as "Melanie" in an initial tweet, which was later deleted.
An embolisation is a minimally invasive treatment that often used to block one or more blood vessels or abnormal vascular channels.
A Slovenia-born former model, Melania married Trump in 2005. They have a 12-year-old son, Barron.

Israeli airstrikes in Gaza kill 48 people, including 22 children, hospitals say
Deir al-Balah (Gaza Strip) (AP): At least 22 children were killed in Gaza overnight Tuesday and early Wednesday in a punishing series of Israeli airstrikes on homes in northern Gaza, according to local hospitals.
The strikes killed at least 48 people in total, the Indonesian Hospital in Jabaliya reported. The strikes came a day after Hamas released an Israeli-American hostage in a deal brokered by the United States, and as President Donald Trump was visiting Saudi Arabia.
On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there was “no way” Israel would halt its war in Gaza, dimming hopes for a ceasefire.
