In part two of our series, our speech language pathologists continue to demonstrate the Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) procedure. FEES is a diagnostic tool used to assess swallowing disorders by passing a thin, flexible scope with a camera through the nose to get a direct view of the throat and larynx during swallowing. This time, we get a close-up view of Meghan’s arytenoids, which are essential structures in the voice box. We’ll also see if Meghan can produce a burp, providing a glimpse into her esophagus. This step helps our specialists evaluate the swallowing mechanism and identify any potential issues.

In this series, we’re excited to showcase our speech language pathologists demonstrating a live Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES). FEES is a procedure used to assess and diagnose swallowing disorders. During a FEES, a thin, flexible scope with a camera is passed through the nose to provide a direct view of the throat while a patient swallows different consistencies of food and liquid. This allows our specialists to closely observe and identify any issues with the swallowing mechanism.
