I am sharing this blog post from SI.com regarding Yankee star Mariano Rivera. While it sounds sexy, the term "scraping" is extremely inaccurate to describe the delicate process of surgery on the vocal folds. Phonomicrosurgery, the term we use to describe highly magnified and precise surgery of the vocal folds, is inaccurately described by this sports blogger. But we will have to excuse the blogger, because after all he is a sports writer rather than a medical one.

Singer Adele’s vocal cord surgery in Boston called a ‘success’
Singer Adele’s vocal cord surgery in Boston called a ‘success’
My fellowship mentor, Steven Zeitels, has been in the news this week after operating on the British singer Adele. She reportedly suffered a vocal hemorrhage from a benign vocal fold polyp.
