Comparing surgery and prosthetic nose after nasal loss
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to restore the nose after it has been removed—either through surgery or with a custom-made prosthetic nose (called an epithesis). It looks at how well each approach works and how it affects your appearance, to help guide future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.

This study looks at survival and outcome factors for people who have squamous cell carcinoma in the nasal vestibule. It uses information from surgery and scans and checks tissue samples to see what predicts recovery or risk of problems later.
This study is testing a new French questionnaire to measure how satisfied people are with their nose reconstruction after skin cancer removal. It will help doctors better understand what matters most to patients after this type of surgery.
This study looks at cartilage from the nose and ear that is usually thrown away during surgery. The goal is to learn more about it so that doctors can improve how they rebuild the nose in future patients.
This study compares two ways of straightening a crooked nasal septum (the wall inside your nose) to help you breathe better. It tests a newer method against the standard surgical approach.
This trial collects a small sample of tissue from your nose or sinus during a planned surgery. The sample is used for research to better understand diseases of the nose and sinuses.
This study tracks how patients feel and function after nose surgery that uses a piece of cartilage (septal extension graft) to reshape the nose. Researchers want to understand both the benefits and any complications to improve future care.
