Adele undergoes surgery in Boston

A spokesman for Massachusetts General Hospital announced that Adele underwent vocal cord microsurgery to stop recurrent bleeding from a benign polyp. The condition is usually the result of unstable blood vessels in the vocal cord that can rupture.

The hospital said the 23-year-old British singer came to Boston to undergo the surgery with Dr. Steven Zeitels, director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Voice Center. The hospital said Zeitels expects Adele to make a full recovery from the laser microsurgery.

Pressparty revealed on October 29 that Adele was to undergo surgery.
