Attorney General Garland to Undergo Medical Procedure

One week from today, on Thursday, July 7, Attorney General Merrick B. Garland will undergo a routine surgical procedure.

The Attorney General has been diagnosed with benign enlargement of the prostate or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is the “the most common prostate problem for men older than age 50,” according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). It affects approximately half of men between the ages of 51 and 60 and up to 90 percent of men older than 80, according to NIH.
