Paul said he plans to return to Capitol Hill in September.
The procedure was done at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, unlike his previous surgery to repair damage from the attack, the Louisville Courier Journal reported.
In January, he went to Canada for hernia surgery to repair damage related to the assault. He said he chose the facility because it was a hospital that specialized in the type of surgery and was also economical, according to the newspaper.
The neighbor who attacked Paul in 2017 was Rene Boucher. He pleaded guilty to felony assault and was sentenced to 30 days in prison, The New York Times reported in 2018. He was upset over a pile of debris.
The attack left Paul with broken ribs and caused pneumonia.
