What is Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES)?
Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) is a diagnostic procedure used to assess and visualize the swallowing process. This technique involves the insertion of a flexible endoscope through the nose to allow direct observation of the pharynx and larynx during swallowing. FEES is particularly useful for identifying abnormalities in swallowing mechanics, especially in individuals with conditions such as cancer.
