  1. Coil embolisation of ruptured intracranial aneurysms (HTG64)

    Evidence-based recommendations on coil embolisation of ruptured intracranial aneurysms. This involves passing a thin tube through the body to place coils inside the aneurysm.

  2. Prostatic urethral temporary implant insertion for lower urinary tract symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (HTG639)

    Evidence-based recommendations on prostatic urethral temporary implant insertion for lower urinary tract symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia. This involves positioning a temporary implant in the urethra to increase the flow of urine.

  3. Superficial venous arterialisation for chronic limb threatening ischaemia (HTG637)

    Evidence-based recommendations on superficial venous arterialisation for chronic limb threatening ischaemia in adults. This involves joining an artery in the lower leg to a large vein to divert blood flow through the vein towards the foot, bypassing the blocked arteries.

  4. Transcutaneous electrical neuromuscular stimulation for urinary incontinence (HTG636)

    Evidence-based recommendations on transcutaneous electrical neuromuscular stimulation for urinary incontinence in adults. This involves stimulating nerves and muscles in the pelvic floor to strengthen the muscles and reduce urine leaks.

  5. Single-step scaffold insertion for repairing symptomatic chondral knee defects (HTG728)

    Evidence-based recommendations on single-step scaffold insertion for repairing symptomatic chondral knee defects. This involves inserting a scaffold into the damaged area of the knee to support regrowth and repair of the cartilage.

  6. Phrenic nerve pacing for ventilator-dependent high cervical spinal cord injury (HTG727)

    Evidence-based recommendations on phrenic nerve pacing for ventilator-dependent high cervical spinal cord injury. This involves stimulating the phrenic nerve to make the diaphragm contract, helping people to breathe without a ventilator.

  7. Phrenic nerve pacing for congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (HTG725)

    Evidence-based recommendations on phrenic nerve pacing for congenital central hypoventilation syndrome. This involves direct stimulation of the phrenic nerve, to produce the inhalation phrase of breathing.

  8. Minimally invasive percutaneous surgical techniques with internal fixation for correcting hallux valgus (HTG723)

    Evidence-based recommendations on minimally invasive percutaneous surgical techniques with internal fixation for correcting hallux valgus. This involves cutting into the big toe to remove the bunion and securing the bones at the front of the foot.

  9. Endoscopic duodenal mucosal resurfacing for insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes (HTG721)

    Evidence-based recommendations on endoscopic duodenal mucosal resurfacing for insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes. This involves using heat to destroy the lining of the duodenum to encourage a new lining to grow.

  10. Selective internal radiation therapy for neuroendocrine tumours that have metastasised to the liver (HTG720)

    Evidence-based recommendations on selective internal radiation therapy for neuroendocrine tumours that have metastasised to the liver. This involves injecting tiny radioactive spheres into the blood vessels that supply the liver metastases.

  11. Radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation in association with other cardiac surgery (HTG72)

    Evidence-based recommendations on radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation in association with other cardiac surgery. This involves scarring the heart tissue using heat to interrupt abnormal electrical signals.

  12. Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (HTG68)

    Evidence-based recommendations on endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy for treating lacrimal sac or nasolacrimal duct obstruction. This involves making a connection that bypasses the blocked area so that the tears can drain straight into the nose.

  13. Artificial trapeziometacarpal joint replacement for end-stage osteoarthritis (HTG67)

    Evidence-based recommendations on artificial trapeziometacarpal joint replacement for treating end-stage osteoarthritis. This involves replacing the arthritic joint at the base of the thumb with an artificial joint.

  14. Focal therapy using high-intensity focused ultrasound for localised prostate cancer (HTG667)

    Evidence-based recommendations on focal therapy using high-intensity focused ultrasound for localised prostate cancer. This involves using high-intensity focused ultrasound to heat up and destroy only the areas of the prostate with cancer (focal therapy). The aim is to destroy the cancer while reducing damage to healthy prostate tissue.

  15. Percutaneous thoracic duct embolisation for persistent chyle leak (HTG666)

    Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous thoracic duct embolisation for persistent chyle leak. In this procedure, under general anaesthesia, ultrasound and X-rays are used to create an image of the thoracic duct and find the leak. Then, using a needle, a tube is inserted through the abdominal wall (percutaneous) and guided into the thoracic duct. Small metal coils and medical glue are inserted through the tube and used to plug the leak (embolisation). The aim is to stop the leak.
