• Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) is an objective evaluation of swallowing, currently only with adults.
  • CRMC is currently the only hospital in Wyoming to offer this type of evaluation.
  • An outpatient procedure that passes an endoscopic camera through the nose to view the swallow. Allows for visualization of the following:
    • Pharyngeal (throat) structures
    • Laryngeal (voice box) structures
    • Swallow function
    • Impact of various strategies and textures on swallow safety
  • Typically takes 10-15 minutes and provides real time information to help determine treatment needs.
