Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was released from a hospital after being admitted for a non-surgical medical procedure in New York City earlier in the week, according to a court statement.
“Judge Ginsburg was released from the hospital today,” the court spokesman said in a statement. “She is home and she is fine.”
It is the latest in a series of hospitalizations for the longest-serving Supreme Court judge.
Ginsburg, 87, underwent a “minimally invasive” procedure at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center on Wednesday to “check a bile duct stent,” the court said. Doctors initially inserted him last August, when justice underwent treatment for a cancerous tumor in his pancreas.

The procedure aimed to “minimize the risk of future infection,” according to the statement. And, according to the doctors of justice, such reviews are common.
Earlier this month, Ginsburg had another procedure at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore to clean the stent. He also went to the hospital in mid-July to have his gallstones removed and to treat a suspected infection.
And it overcame another gallstone-related infection in May, the Supreme Court said at the time.
But those are not the only health problems you face.
According to a statement from Ginsburg two weeks ago, she has been receiving chemotherapy for the past few months due to a recurrence of cancer, which she has struggled four times previously.
