Evidence-based recommendations on endoscopic carbon dioxide laser cricopharyngeal myotomy for relief of oropharyngeal dysphagia in adults. This involves inserting an endoscope (a thin, rigid tube with a camera on the end) through the mouth, and using a carbon dioxide laser to cut through the muscle that runs round the top of the gullet.
Evidence-based recommendations on normothermic extracorporeal preservation of hearts for transplant after brainstem death. This technique is used to store a donor heart for longer before being transplanted.
Mechanical clot retrieval for treating acute ischaemic stroke (HTG403)
Evidence-based recommendations on mechanical clot retrieval for treating acute ischaemic stroke in adults. This involves using a device to remove the blood clot from the brain to restore normal blood flow.

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for depression (HTG396)
Evidence-based recommendations on repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for depression. This involves placing an electromagnetic coil against the scalp, which creates electric currents in certain parts of the brain.
Evidence-based recommendations on electrical stimulation of the lower oesophageal sphincter for treating gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. This involves applying low-energy electrical impulses to the sphincter to strengthen the muscle so that less reflux happens.
Evidence-based recommendations on radiation therapy for early Dupuytren’s contractures in adults. This involves directing low energy X-rays at the affected tissue.
Epiduroscopic lumbar discectomy through the sacral hiatus for sciatica (HTG425)
Evidence-based recommendations on epiduroscopic lumbar discectomy through the sacral hiatus for sciatica in adults. This involves removing the part of the spinal disc pressing against the spinal nerve, to relieve pain.
