Implement FEES successfully into your practice! 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 the most efficient and cost-effective for patients who cannot easily be transported to a hospital. Highlights of the book: Comprehensive review of anatomy/physiology of oral & pharyngeal musculature Provides FEES protocol sheets for complete how-to instruction Shows how to score a FEES examination & possible abnormal findings Demonstrates the use of endoscopy in a wide range of populations infants, children, and geriatric patients, and those with head and neck cancer Lays out rehabilitative & compensatory techniques for each dysphagia problem Summarizes safety data from the three largest clinical studies ever undertaken Includes dozens of "best practice" case studies

Clinical Esophagology and Transnasal Esophagoscopy is a comprehensive book covering the diagnosis and management of esophageal disorders for dysphagia clinicians. Nearly two thirds of people with solid food dysphagia will have an esophageal contribution to their swallowing complaint. One third of those with cervical dysphagia will have an esophageal etiology for their symptom. It is essential that all dysphagia clinicians have an advanced knowledge of the esophageal phase of deglutition. Some of the most common causes of solid food dysphagia include gastroesophageal reflux disease and reflux esophagitis, esophageal webs and rings, allergic (eosinophilic) esophagitis, and hiatal hernia. This book addresses the educational needs of otolaryngologists and speech-language pathologists and will serve as a valuable resource for clinicians of all educational backgrounds and training levels.

This guide brings thought leaders and master clinicians together to share their wisdom and expertise regarding clinical decisions surrounding unilateral and bilateral vocal fold paralysis. Designed as a what- to-do and why as opposed to a how-to guide, the authors detail the reasoning process from work up, through intervention, to post-treatment decision making. The text is organized around decision points in the management of vocal fold paralysis such as decisions in regard to timing, intervention, implants, reinnervation, drugs, voice therapy, and post-operative care. Individual chapters focus on specific steps in the process of evaluation and treatment, explore the decisions that can and should be made, and provide answers and direction for the reader. Authors explain the issues around the decision point and use their considerable experience to offer their opinion and as well as the thought process behind it. Decision Making in Vocal Fold Paralysis will be a useful guide for practitioners that deal with vocal fold paralysis, including otolaryngologists, general surgeons, neurologists, speech language pathologists, primary care physicians, and oncologists.
