A professional singer, Alama Kante, has sung through surgery to remove a tumour from her throat, so surgeons could avoid damaging her vocal cords.
The Guinean singer, who is based in France, was given just a local anaesthetic and hypnotised to help with the pain during the operation in Paris.
Kante was nervous about losing her voice, but in a "world first" her surgeon suggested she sing throughout.
He said one slip of his scalpel could have destroyed her singing voice.
