First seen Feb 04, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This study tests a new bioresorbable bone adhesive (like a glue) to hold the skull bone in place after surgery. Twenty adults having skull surgery will receive the adhesive, and researchers will check safety and how well the bone heals using CT scans over 6 months. The goal is to see if this glue works well enough to study in more people.
