NEW YORK, March 8 (UPI) -- Placido Domingo's publicist says the tenor has been released from a New York hospital after having a malignant polyp removed from his colon.

Although it was public knowledge the 69-year-old performer was going in for a medical procedure, the nature of the treatment was not disclosed until Monday.

Domingo's spokeswoman Nancy Seltzer told The New York Times the opera great underwent laparoscopic surgery to remove a "localized malignant polyp" in his colon, then was released Sunday from Manhattan's Mount Sinai Hospital after it was done.

He has been ordered to rest for about six weeks and is expected to make a full recovery, Seltzer told the newspaper.
