The surgeon who performed laser microsurgery on singer Adele in Boston has said he expects her to make a full recovery.

The Los Angeles Times reports that a statement released by Massachusetts General Hospital read: "Adele underwent vocal cord microsurgery by Dr Steven Zeitels to stop recurrent vocal cord hemorrhage (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."
