Empty Nose Syndrome Memorial Videos: Patient Stories After Turbinate and Nasal Surgery

A memorial video archive preserving patient stories associated with Empty Nose Syndrome and severe postoperative nasal symptoms after procedures including turbinate reduction, septoplasty, rhinoplasty and turbinectomy.

Source and attribution note

These videos document individual and family accounts. Inclusion in this archive does not by itself establish the medical cause of a person’s death or prove that a specific operation produced every later symptom. Where separate case pages exist, they distinguish reported history from independently documented medical evidence.

About the memorial archive

The original website brought together videos about people whose histories had become important within the ENS community. The redesigned version keeps that material accessible while presenting it in a calmer, more documentary format. The focus is on what each source records about nasal surgery, subsequent symptoms and the person’s experience.

Patient and family histories can reveal the human impact of persistent postoperative breathing problems. They cannot, however, answer epidemiological questions such as how often a complication occurs or establish causality to the same standard as a clinical investigation. For those questions, the research section should be read alongside this archive.

How these accounts should be interpreted

The people represented here underwent different procedures at different times and their medical histories are not identical. The archive therefore avoids treating them as a single clinical cohort. Statements in a video may come from the patient, relatives, community members or secondary material and should be attributed accordingly.

For readers researching surgery risk, the most reliable approach is to combine these narratives with peer-reviewed literature on turbinate surgery, ENS diagnostic criteria, airflow and sensory physiology, and postoperative outcomes.

Research and related case pages

Several individuals represented in the video archive also have dedicated pages on this site. Those pages provide a more structured chronology and make it easier to see which information comes from primary testimony, family accounts or other source material.
