The Supreme Court says Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is missing arguments for the first time in more than 25 years as she recuperates from cancer surgery last month.
Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said Monday the 85-year-old Ginsburg is continuing to recuperate and work from home after doctors removed two cancerous growths from her left lung on December 21.
Ginsburg was discharged from a New York hospital on Christmas day.
Ginsburg had two earlier cancer surgeries in 1999 and 2009 that did not cause her to miss court sessions. She also has broken ribs on at least two occasions.
The court said doctors found the growths on Ginsburg's lung when she was being treated for fractured ribs she suffered in a fall at her office on November 7.
It was the first time Ginsburg missed a day of oral arguments since she was seated on the bench following Senate confirmation and Bill Clinton's nomination of her in 1993.
She is known as a persistent questioner of lawyers from the bench during arguments.
Her remarkable attendance streak came despite surgery for colorectral cancer in the 90s, pancreatic cancer in 2009, a heart procedure, and two falls, CNBC reported.
Following her initial fall, Ginsburg declared herself 'almost repaired,' and immediately got back to an exercise routine.
'Glad to see you are feeling great,' President Trump told her at an event for the late Justice Antonin Scalia.
First ever miss: Ruth Bader Ginsburg was not present for a Supreme Court hearing for the first time ever Monday after surgery to remove two cancerous growth last month
RUTH BADER GINSBURG'S PULMONARY LOBECTOMY, EXPLAINED
WHAT IS A PULMONARY LOBECTOMY?
A pulmonary lobectomy is the surgical removal of a cancerous or diseased segment of the lung, rather than the entire organ.
The procedure is done when only a portion of the lung is unhealthy.
When diseased tissue is isolated to just one portion of the lung, it means that it is either pre-cancerous or in the early stages of cancer.
Removing the cancerous, diseased, infected or suspicious portion of a lung prevents whatever is ailing it from spreading to the rest of the organ - or beyond.
Surgeons make an incision, usually starting near the nipple and continuing around to the back, ending under the shoulder blade.
They can then get to the lung between the ribs. Sometimes, a guided camera is used instead, to make the surgery less invasive.
HOW THE LUNGS KEEP WORKING AFTER A PORTION HAS BEEN REMOVED
Each pair of lungs has a total of five lobes - three in the right and two in the left lung.
The lungs have multiple lobes as a sort of fail-safe system so that if one lobe is damaged, the rest can keep on breathing. In modern medicine, this allows the organs to keep working after a portion is removed to stop disease spread.
The lungs are remarkably regenerative.
When one section, or lobe is removed effectively and without complications, the rest of the organ can continue functioning normally.
SURGEONS REMOVED ONE LOBE OF RBG'S LUNG
Just one of the five lobes of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's lungs was removed (or resected) during.
Surgeons cut out the lower of the two lobes of the Justice's left lung.
When the investigated the removed tissues they found two 'nodules' - suspicious lumps of tissue that didn't match the rest of the organ.
Sometimes these are harmless, or benign. Other times nodules are cancerous, or malignant. Pathologists have to test the tissue after it's removed to find out.
The two nodules in Justice Ginsburg's lung were malignant, or cancerous.
But upon inspection of the rest of her lungs, there were no signs of any other nodules or cancers - good news, meaning that they caught the disease very early.
THE RISKS (AND BENEFITS) OF A LUNG LOBECTOMY
Lung lobectomies are invasive surgeries, and the risks and rate of complications vary. Women tend to fare better than men.
The possible complications are considerable. They include:
- Infection
- A pleural space that can lead to lung collapse
- An air leak
- Pus developing in the chest cavity
- Fluid buildup between the lung and chest wall
After surgery, most are dependent on a ventilator for a few day, though some struggle to breath unassisted for longer.
Most of the complications tend to resolve themselves.
But some, like chest pain may linger. About half of patients who undergo lobectomies report lasting aches.
The upside is that between 85 and 95 percent of people who have lobectomies to prevent the spread of cancer survive for at least the following five years.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
