Bioactive glass to fill the mastoid after cholesteatoma surgery
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special material (bioactive glass) used to fill an area behind the ear during surgery can improve healing after cholesteatoma is removed. It may help reduce problems from the disease or surgery by changing how the surgical space is filled.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests using a special glass material to fill in the cavity left after ear surgery, which can cause problems like drainage, dizziness, and trouble with hearing aids. The goal is to see if this material helps create a more stable ear.
This trial tests a special gel applied during common ear surgeries to see if it helps healing and improves hearing. It may be an option for people having surgery to fix a perforated eardrum, repair ear bones, or treat chronic ear infections.
This trial tests a special glass material (bioactive glass S53P4) placed into the bone after surgery to treat a diabetic foot infection in the forefoot. It may help heal the infection better than standard care.
This study is testing whether the CERAMENT G bone filler can help treat chronic bone infections (osteomyelitis) when doctors remove the infected bone in a single surgery. It is for people who have had symptoms for at least six months and need the bone gap filled after surgery.
This trial compares two methods to help repair a hole in the eardrum during a minor surgery: one uses a gel made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma), and the other uses a natural substance (hyaluronic acid). Both are placed on a small fat graft to help it heal better and improve hearing.
This trial tests a special glass material to help heal severe ankle bone fractures. It may help people who need a bone graft after an open pilon fracture.
