  1. Arthroscopic radiofrequency chondroplasty for discrete chondral defects of the knee (HTG340)

    Evidence-based recommendations on arthroscopic radiofrequency chondroplasty for discrete chondral defects of the knee. This involves using a radiofrequency probe to heat and smooth any defects and rough edges in the cartilage.

  2. Percutaneous endoscopic laser thoracic discectomy (HTG34)

    Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous endoscopic laser thoracic discectomy. This involves using a laser to heat and destroy some of the inside of the disc and shrink the part that is sticking out.

  3. Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy for primary hyperhidrosis of the upper limb (HTG339)

    Evidence-based recommendations on endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy for primary hyperhidrosis of the upper limb. This involves dividing appropriate parts of the sympathetic chain beside the vertebral column to reduce sweating.

  4. Transoral carbon dioxide laser surgery for primary treatment of oropharyngeal malignancy (HTG337)

    Evidence-based recommendations on transoral carbon dioxide laser surgery for primary treatment of oropharyngeal malignancy. This involves using a laser to cut out the tumour and a small amount of the healthy flesh around it.

  5. Insertion of a magnetic bead band for faecal incontinence (HTG336)

    Evidence-based recommendations on insertion of a magnetic-bead band for faecal incontinence. This involves placing a ring of magnetic beads into a tunnel made around the anus to prevent incontinence.

  6. Electrochemotherapy for primary basal cell carcinoma and primary squamous cell carcinoma (HTG333)

    Evidence-based recommendations on electrochemotherapy for primary basal cell carcinoma and primary squamous cell carcinoma. This involves injecting a chemotherapy drug into the tumour and using electrical pulses to increase its effect.

  7. Optical coherence tomography to guide percutaneous coronary intervention (HTG332)

    Evidence-based recommendations on optical coherence tomography to guide percutaneous coronary intervention. This involves using near-infrared light to produce high-resolution images of blood vessel walls.

  8. Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy for primary facial blushing (HTG331)

    Evidence-based recommendations on endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy for primary facial blushing. This involves cutting off nerve signals to stop the blushing.

  9. Transcranial magnetic stimulation for treating and preventing migraine (HTG330)

    Evidence-based recommendations on transcranial magnetic stimulation for treating and preventing migraine. This involves placing a handheld device on the scalp to deliver magnetic pulses to the head.

  10. Thrombin injections for pseudoaneurysms (HTG33)

    Evidence-based recommendations on thrombin injections for pseudoaneurysms. This involves injecting thrombin into the pseudoaneurysm. The aim is to form a small clot to plug the ‘hole’ in the artery.

  11. Insertion of prostatic urethral lift implants to treat lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (HTG329)

    Evidence-based recommendations on insertion of prostatic urethral lift implants to treat lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia. This involves pulling back the parts of the prostate that are pressing on the urethra so that it's no longer blocked.

  12. Processed nerve allografts to repair peripheral nerve discontinuities (HTG454)

    Evidence-based recommendations on processed nerve allografts to repair peripheral nerve discontinuities. This involves using a specially treated nerve (an allograft) taken from a human donor after death to bridge the gap in the nerve.

  13. Extracranial to intracranial bypass for intracranial atherosclerosis (HTG452)

    Evidence-based recommendations on extracranial to intracranial bypass for intracranial atherosclerosis. This involves joining a blood vessel from outside the skull to one inside the skull to bypass a narrowed or partially blocked vessel.

  14. Total distal radioulnar joint replacement for symptomatic joint instability or arthritis (HTG451)

    Evidence-based recommendations on total distal radioulnar joint replacement for symptomatic joint instability or arthritis in adults. This involves removing the wrist end of the ulna and replacing it with a metal prosthesis that also attaches to the wrist end of the radius.

  15. Intramuscular diaphragm stimulation for ventilator-dependent chronic respiratory failure caused by motor neurone disease (HTG450)

    Evidence-based recommendations on intramuscular diaphragm stimulation for ventilator-dependent chronic respiratory failure in people with motor neurone disease. This involves implanting electrodes into the diaphragm to make it contract. This gradually strengthens the diaphragm and may eventually help the person to breathe without a ventilator.
