Endoscopic Evaluation and Treatment of Swallowing Disorders

In the 10 years since Dr. Langmore pioneered and described endoscopic
technique for evaluating pharyngeal swallowing function, the use of FEES
(flexible endoscopy) has grown exponentially. The procedure is used throughout
the world, with workshops held to sold-out attendance; demand for training
materials continues unabated.

Now there is one book that comprehensively covers
the role of endoscopy in the assessment and treatment of oropharyngeal
dysphagia. Written in step-by-step detail by the creator of the technique, the
book gives you all the information you need to implement FEES in your practice.
It offers valuable comparisons to other imaging tools, especially fluoroscopy,
showing how this portable technique is n the most efficient and cost-effective
for patients who cannot easily be transported to a hospital.

book:

• 
  Comprehensive review of anatomy/physiology of oral
  & pharyngeal musculature

  instruction
  
  
• Shows how to score a FEES examination, & possible
  abnormal findings
