Adele recently went under the knife for corrective throat surgery after experiencing trouble with her contralto ranged voice. The difficulty led to her cancelling a number of shows in the UK and the US. The Massachusetts General Hospital, where Adele underwent surgery, released the following statement:
Adele underwent vocal cord microsurgery by Dr. Steven Zeitels to stop recurrent vocal cord haemorrhage (bleeding) from a benign polyp. This condition is typically the result of unstable blood vessels in the vocal cord that can rupture. Based on the advice of her doctor and voice therapist in the United Kingdom, Adele came to Boston to consult and undergo corrective voice surgery with Dr. Zeitels, the Director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Voice Center… Dr. Zeitels expects Adele to make a full recovery from her laser microsurgery.
