Speech and Swallowing Procedures:
During FEESST a thin, flexible fiberoptic telescope is gently passed via the nose to the pharynx. Manderly is able to directly assess the motor and sensory aspects of the swallow in order to precisely guide the dietary and behavioral management of patients with swallowing problems as well as evaluate the extra-esophageal manifestations of gastro-esophageal reflux (Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR)) including asthma, hoarseness, laryngitis, globus and aspiration.
Manderly also has specialty training in videostroboscopy. Videostroboscopy is a state-of-the-art technique that provides a magnified, slow-motion view of your vocal cords in action. It allows the speech-language pathologist to assess numerous vocal parameters as well as view abnormal motion and other disorders of the vocal folds. Videostroboscopy also greatly assists physicians in making an accurate diagnosis of vocal pathology including masses or lesions.
