In a statement, Fox News said that Cavuto had the operation Monday at a New York City hospital and came through with "flying colors."

The journalist was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1997.

Cavuto has been off the air since May 31. Fox said Tuesday that he's scheduled to return to hosting his trio of shows on the news and business channels later this year.
