The statement said Ginsburg underwent a minimally invasive non-surgical procedure to correct a bile duct stent that was placed back in August of 2019.
According to the statement from the Supreme Court, Ginsburg's doctors said stent revisions are normal and the procedure the Justice underwent is meant to reduce future infection.
Earlier this month, Ginsburg was admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore for a potential infection. In that instance, her bile-duct stent was cleaned and she was placed on antibiotics.
Earlier this month, Justice Ginsburg announced that she was undergoing chemotherapy for a recurrence of cancer.
