Roger Daltrey and Voice Disorders

There was an interesting story tonight on KCAL 9 in Los Angeles.  It was about Roger Daltrey, who underwent laryngeal surgery just before last years super bowl.  The surgery happened to be performed by my fellowship mentor, Steven Zeitels, at the Massachusetts General Center for Voice Rehabilitation and Laryngeal Surgery. The story also featured Julie Andrews and Steven Tyler, and brought attention to the challenge of treating patients with vocal fold scar, and promising research attempting to heal scarred vocal folds.  Please check out these links.
