US First Lady, Melania Trump, returned to the White House on Saturday after undergoing a procedure to address a “benign” kidney condition.

“She is resting comfortably and remains in high spirits,” the White House said in a statement.

The first lady’s Communications Director, Stephanie Grisham, said the Slovenia-born former model underwent an embolization procedure.

Embolization is most frequently used to cut off the flow of blood to a tumour or growth.

It is common to stay overnight after the procedure to treat the pain.
