A member asked:

Will having lung transplant surgery effect your singing voice?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: The surgery itself may damage your vocal cords through manipulation for the intubation and subsequent intensive care; also the new lung may have a different capacity for the volume of singing, once you recover. Good luck!
