Flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing or Fiber-Optic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing
Arvis Speciality Clinics is committed to providing advanced diagnostic procedures to assess swallowing difficulties and develop effective treatment plans. We offer Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES), a specialized procedure that allows for a detailed examination of the swallowing process. With our state-of-the-art equipment and experienced specialists, we strive to deliver accurate diagnoses and personalized care.
What is Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES)?
Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) is a non-invasive procedure that involves passing a thin, flexible endoscope through the nasal passages to the throat. The endoscope is equipped with a light source and a camera, enabling real-time visualization of the swallowing process. This procedure allows our medical experts to assess the anatomy and function of the swallowing mechanism, identify abnormalities or obstructions, and evaluate the effectiveness of the swallow.
Comprehensive Swallowing Assessments: At Arvis Speciality Clinics, we utilize Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) to perform comprehensive assessments for individuals experiencing swallowing difficulties, also known as dysphagia. Our highly skilled speech-language pathologists and ENT specialists use FEES to evaluate the coordination of the swallowing muscles, assess the presence of aspiration (food or liquid entering the airway), and determine the appropriate consistencies of food and liquid that can be safely consumed. This allows us to tailor treatment plans to each patient's unique needs.
Personalized Treatment Plans: Following a detailed evaluation using Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES), our expert team will develop a personalized treatment plan based on the specific findings. Treatment options may include swallowing exercises, dietary modifications, compensatory strategies, or referral for further interventions if necessary. Our goal is to improve swallowing function and enhance overall quality of life.
Advanced Technology and Expertise: Arvis Speciality Clinics is equipped with state-of-the-art flexible endoscopes and staffed by experienced speech-language pathologists and ENT specialists. Our experts have extensive training in FEES and stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in swallowing assessments and interventions.
