Venezuelan singer Karina underwent emergency surgery in Venezuela to treat a hemorrhagic polyp and a ligament injury on her vocal cords. The singer reported that the condition had caused hoarseness for several months following a tour in Europe, an issue she initially attributed to physical exhaustion.

Following the successful procedure performed by otolaryngologist Nora Elena Hernández, the 57-year-old artist has entered a recovery phase. Karina is currently under strict vocal rest but is utilizing physical exercise and specialized vocal exercises to restore her voice. She has expressed optimism regarding her eventual return to the stage.
