- In the world of modern medicine, there are still conditions that remain largely unrecognized, causing untold suffering to those afflicted. Mélisa Champion’s story is one such tragic example. Her battle with Empty Nose Syndrome (ENS) is not just a tale of personal suffering but also a poignant reminder of the importance of informed consent and the dire need for medical communities to recognize and address rare conditions.
Mélisa was a vibrant and sociable young woman, full of dreams and aspirations. Her love for travel and different cultures led her to pursue a career in tourism, with hopes of becoming a flight attendant. Unfortunately, her life took a devastating turn following a seemingly routine medical procedure in 2007. Initially diagnosed with a deviated nasal septum, Mélisa was advised to undergo septoplasty to improve airflow. What she was not told was that the procedure would also involve a complete septorhinoplasty and the bilateral reduction of her inferior turbinates. Had she been fully informed, Mélisa would have never consented to this life-altering surgery.
The aftermath of the surgery was catastrophic. Mélisa developed ENS, a condition characterized by the inability to sense airflow in the nasal passages despite them being physically open. She experienced extreme nasal dryness, facial pain, and recurring infections. Her condition progressively worsened, leading to severe asthma attacks, debilitating pain, and a significant decline in her quality of life. Her daily existence became a battle for survival, reliant on a humidifier to breathe and constant medical treatments to manage her symptoms.
Despite her struggle, Mélisa found strength in small moments of happiness with her loved ones. She sought solace in reading, music, and staying informed about the world. In her final days, she found peace in her faith, expressing a desire to be free from suffering. Mélisa passed away on May 23, 2015, at the age of 33, leaving behind a legacy of resilience and a call for greater awareness of ENS.
Her parents, Marcelle and Jean-Yves Champion, have shared her story to honor her memory and advocate for the recognition of ENS by the medical community. They hope that Mélisa's story will prevent others from enduring similar suffering and emphasize the critical need for transparency and thorough communication between doctors and patients.

In memory of Sylvain Barthelemy, 1969-2007
Sylvain Barthelemy underwent surgery in July 2005 for a deviated nasal septum, known as septoplasty. He often complained of nasal obstruction, and a sinus X-ray revealed various issues, leading to the recommendation for surgery. However, Sylvain was not informed that the procedure would also involve a turbinectomy, which carried significant risks and complications.
Following the surgery, Sylvain's health deteriorated. He began to suffer from severe headaches, anxiety, significant ENT pain, frequent sinusitis, sleep problems, and fatigue. His behavior changed dramatically, becoming more aggressive, anxious, and depressed. Activities he once enjoyed, like skiing and paragliding, became painful and difficult.
Despite his successful professional life and loving family, Sylvain's condition worsened. He underwent another operation to reconstruct his nasal cavity, but this resulted in a hemorrhage and rejection of the graft, leaving him without lower and middle turbinates. His complications included permanently infected sinuses, unbearable pain, excessive fatigue, reduced sleep, night terrors, and a stronger suicidal tendency.
On March 22, 2007, Sylvain attempted to end his life but was found alive the next day. He was admitted to specialized care but released a week later. On April 4, 2007, he attempted suicide again but was stopped just in time. Tragically, on April 11, 2007, Sylvain ended his life, leaving behind two small children.
Sylvain's suffering was a result of the medical procedures he underwent. His family filed an appeal, and while those responsible were found liable for his suffering, the compensation was minimal. Sylvain did not commit suicide; he sought to end the unbearable pain inflicted upon him by his medical treatments. This story stands as a poignant reminder of the need for proper patient information and the recognition of medical complications like empty nose syndrome.

Evidence of death: ensmemorial.bl...
Condolences to the family of this woman and a big thank you to the editor for making these videos bringing much needed action/awarness when it comes to unnecessary nasal turbinate procedures. Glad to see that the public is starting to become more aware of the the lies and dangers that are not truthfully discussed to patients pre operation.
This ENT surgeon butchered Antonio Jacinto gave him severe ENS afterwards he gaslighted him saying he had only mental problems.

And here is the English translation
THE ENT ENT DOCTOR was seriously injured by a bullet to the chest on Tuesday evening in his medical office on Avenue de Flandre (19th arrondissement), and is still between life and death (our edition from yesterday). At the Beaujon Hospital’s intensive care unit where he was admitted, doctors are refusing to make any predictions about his chances of survival. Investigators from the second division of the judicial police (DPJ) are trying to understand what led his assailant, a 41-year-old man who took his own life immediately after the act with a 6.35 caliber automatic pistol, to act in such a manner. Within twenty-four hours, their investigations revealed that Antonio Jacinto, who lived only a hundred meters from the practitioner’s office, blamed the specialist for treating him poorly. He had even initiated legal proceedings against him.
“The doctor lunged at him as he brandished his pistol”
A patient who was present in Dr. Christian Hamman’s office at the time of the incident and was himself hit by a bullet in the foot recounts: “I was in the doctor’s chair when he entered. I heard a first shot. Then, the doctor lunged at him as he brandished his pistol. A second shot went off, and that’s when the doctor collapsed. In the meantime, the shooter had time to say: I told you I would get you. I then found myself face to face with him. We stared at each other, eye to eye. I thought he was going to kill me, but he raised the hand holding the weapon, pressed the barrel against his temple, began to sweat, and then fired. It was only a quarter of an hour later that I realized I had been hit in the ankle.”
Dr. Gérard Zeiger, President of the Paris Medical Council, was unaware of the dispute: “The council had never received any complaint from this patient, but that doesn’t diminish the dramatic nature of this affair. I am stunned by what happened. We had the sorrow of losing a colleague a few years ago, but it was not in the same context. She had been attacked by a drug addict.” Dr. Zeiger is concerned about the aggressiveness of patients towards doctors: “The assaults are mostly verbal, but they are repetitive and eventually wear down the practitioners. They are also sometimes physical. A young emergency doctor was attacked twice in two days recently. Her equipment was stolen.” He believes this violence is not exclusive to the followers of Hippocrates: “I have been practicing in the capital for thirty-four years, and the situation is deteriorating more and more. A few years ago, in very degraded neighborhoods like the Îlot Châlon or in the slums, we could intervene without danger. That is no longer the case today. There is no longer any respect for the doctor who nevertheless comes to provide care.”
The following is a question that I think all people thinking of undergoing a septoplasty and/or turbinate reduction operation/procedure ought to ponder:
What has or would Serena Williams done or do? Serena Williams is not God, but the woman is or was successful in her career and she suffers from sinusitis.
Sorry I don’t know who she is.let’s hope she don’t do any turbinate, sinus, nasal valve surgery or septoplasty. Worst place in the human body except brain that can have surgery performed to it . Actually it is like operating on the brain since it’s operation on the autonomous nervous system. Many are stuck in sympathetic dominance for ever after after surgery to these areas.
There are other celebrities who have gotten these surgeries and claim that it was the best thing they ever did. Mike Rowe, for instance, has talked about his surgery, or Joe Rogan. Both have had this surgery and claimed it was successful. Comparing yourself to Serena Williams isn't helpful. What really needs to happen is really warnings around the real, severe risks of this surgery. It is not on us to have protected ourselves from DOCTORS who are meant to help people become healthier. We are victims through-and-through. If there were a surgery on the spine that might make you run faster, have more energy and strength, with high success rates and low risks would you consider it? The answer for many people would be yes, especially if they had issues with walking or running. But what if you told those people "there's a 20% chance this surgery will leave you paralyzed in a wheelchair"...would they still consider the surgery? Probably not. This is the conundrum of sinus surgeries today.
The problem is in the Head, oversensitivity, not all patiens get ENS
Ok so if it’s in our heads you do this surgery and remember to tell
Them to outfracture it and leave it very opened and then you tell me if it’s in your head only
@nenadcubric2253
Reported. Lack of respect for deceased and misinformation. Your ignorance clearly shows you have no idea how an essential turbinate nasal organs are. Ents unnecessarily tamper with these organs with surgical tools can lead to life long devastating complications which they continue to not disclose thoroughly to the public.
Maybe you should get your head checked for making a sad attempt to ridicule people that have passed away and suffered greatly.
Not everyone gets ENS, that is correct. Apart from that you comment is wrong. There are over 100 scientific studies on ENS showing that it is a real problem. We even have brain scans showing it.
I don't know why you would write such bullshit.
The problem is the surgery. Not all patients get ENS, sure. But some have negative consequences not classified as ENS. And nasal congestion isn't a serious enough condition to justify this amputation and the damage to what remains. The risk is too great for an elective surgery. Plus the logic that partly removing and damaging a useful organ will improve overall health seems pretty flawed to me.
Wow... The butchers are here.👏👏👏
