I am solving a PDE via finite volume methods. As a result, I am left with a set of ODEs which I solve with ode15s. I have a bunch of constants which I use in the function defining the derivative, and I insert these by the inclusion of a struct to the function. When I run the ode15s I obtain an error which pertains to the inclusion of the struct as an input to the function. I don't really want to include the constants within the function as that seems "messy", so I would prefer to do it via a struct.

When I run the ode15s I obtain an error which pertains to the inclusion of the struct as an input to the function.
Please show us the full and exact text of that error message, including all the text displayed in red in the Command Window (and if there are any warning messages displayed in orange, please show us those too.) The exact text may be useful and/or necessary to determine what's going on and how to avoid the warning and/or error.
At a quick glance, though, you're not actually including the struct as an input to your ODE function.
[t, y] = ode15s(@ode_system, tspan, y0);
function dydt = ode_system(t, y, S)
As you're calling it, ode15s will call your ode_system function with two input arguments, t and y. You have not told it that it should pass the struct S into that function; use one of the techniques shown on this documentation page to do so. [I suspect you expected that MATLAB would automatically "figure out" it should pass the struct from the caller's workspace into ode_system based on the name. It does not.]

Put the parameter variables in a single extra structure, then dispatche it using input structure within your inner function. This is less messy and more efficient than calling the anonymous function with a long list of parameters.
Advantage: When you want to add or remove parameters you only need to change the structure, not the calling interface.
You could do similar with a specific own object class and put parameters in properties when you instantiate the object, but if you are not comfortable with structure no need to work with OOP.

"Turns out there was."
Turns out there is not.
"The issue is ode15s, where it uses 2 inputs rather than three as I origianally thought...."
As everyone here keeps advising you, that is exactly what function parameterization is for:
Show us your current code and we will show you how.

This is question not a solution, do I miss anything?
@Steven Lord answer should be accepted.
