- Decision:
- Not selected
- Reason for decision:
- Not eligible for Health Technology Evaluation guidance
- Rationale:
- The IP programme sought specialist advice on this topic which indicated that this procedure is not being carried out in the NHS (but is being performed privately) and is considered to be a minor variation on an existing procedure performed widely on the NHS for a different indication, which is unlikely to alter the procedure's safety and efficacy. Therefore, in line with the previous decision taken in 2022, this procedure is still considered as out of the remit of IP programme as it is an established procedure.
