Trump heralded her homecoming with a message on Twitter that referred to her as 'Melanie'.
"Great to have our incredible First Lady back home in the White House. Melanie is feeling and doing really well. Thank you for all of your prayers and best wishes!"
Trump then quickly superseding that tweet with another that spelled his wife's name correctly.
But there was plenty of reaction to the original tweet, including from London School of Economics academic Brian Klass, who said: "'Melanie.' Just...wow."
Mrs Trump's quiet return to the White House after five days at a nearby military hospital resolved a brewing mystery about when she would eventually be released.
Her spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham declined to release additional details, citing her right to privacy.
Grisham said on Monday that the medical procedure was "successful" and there were no complications.
