RBG Back in Hospital For 'Minimally-Invasive' Warranty Work
2020-07-30
[ZERO] Less than two weeks after her previous hospitalization, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is back in Sloan Kettering for a procedure to revise a bile-duct stent. She is expected to be released by the end of the week.

Full Statement:
Justice Ginsburg underwent a minimally invasive non-surgical procedure today at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City to revise a bile duct scent that was originally placed at Sloan Kettering in August 2019.

According to her doctors, stent revisions are common occurrences and the procedure, performed using endoscopy and medical imaging guidance, was done to minimize the risk of future infection.

The Justice is resting comfortably and expects to be released from the hospital by the end of the week.

Two weeks ago, she confirmed that was living with a recurrence of liver cancer.

#11  Unless they left an access port, you need to cut a slit to work through which sounds an awful lot like surgery.

They could go down the throat to the duodenum.

#9  I may not agree with a lot of her legal interpretation but she is certainly one tough old bird.

#7   a minimally invasive non-surgical procedure... to revise a bile duct scent (uh, stent?)

Endoscopy is considered minimally invasive, but if I remember my Vertebrate Anatomy, the bile duct is on the inside. Unless they left an access port, you need to cut a slit to work through which sounds an awful lot like surgery.
