The 63-year-old comedian took to Instagram on Wednesday and posted a close-up photo of a gauze bandage on her throat. "Vocal cord surgery went well. As you can see some scarring and swelling. It will be worth it if I get some of my voice back (praying emojis)." Griffin, who announced she was cancer-free in December 2021, previously underwent an operation on her left vocal cord, which was left paralysed following her lung cancer surgery, in May 2023. Before her second procedure, she explained to her Instagram followers what the operation entailed.

The toxic truth about mouthwash
More than a third of us use mouthwash, whether that’s just for an extra burst of minty freshness after brushing our teeth or to tackle bleeding gums. However, rather than bettering the work of your toothbrush, this habit may actually be putting your health at risk.

First patients in UK to receive new ‘revolutionary’ device to stop acid reflux
The first patients in the UK have had a new device implanted to prevent severe acid reflux disease. Danielle Harding, 30, recently became the first patient with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (Gord) to undergo the procedure at University Hospital Southampton. A UHS spokeswoman said: “The new ‘revolutionary’ device, RefluxStop, is fixed to the upper part of the stomach wall and blocks movement of the lower oesophageal sphincter to hold it in its original, natural position and restore normal anatomy and function. “Made out of medical grade rounded solid silicone, the implant measures around 25mm – smaller than a ping pong ball – and is fitted via robotic-assisted laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery as a day case, with patients in theatre for less than two hours.” The spokeswoman said approximately 20% of the adult UK population have problems with severe acid reflux or Gord and UHS treats about 50 patients with the condition every year.
