  1. Laparoscopic mesh pectopexy for apical prolapse of the uterus or vagina (HTG464)

    Evidence-based recommendations on laparoscopic mesh pectopexy for apical prolapse of the uterus or vagina. This involves inserting mesh to hold the uterus or the top of the vagina in place.

  2. Mosaicplasty for symptomatic articular cartilage defects of the knee (HTG463)

    Evidence-based recommendations on mosaicplasty in people with symptomatic articular cartilage defects of the knee. This involves taking healthy cartilage from the edge of the joint and inserting it into drilled tunnels in the damaged site.

  3. Aortic valve reconstruction with processed bovine pericardium (HTG461)

    Evidence-based recommendations on aortic valve reconstruction with processed bovine pericardium. This involves replacing a damaged aortic valve with a new valve made from chemically treated cow pericardium.

  4. Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator insertion for preventing sudden cardiac death (HTG460)

    Evidence-based recommendations on subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator insertion for preventing sudden cardiac death. This involves placing a device under the skin of the chest, which detects and treats fast heartbeats called tachyarrhythmias.

  5. Balloon angioplasty of pulmonary vein stenosis in infants (HTG46)

    Evidence-based recommendations on balloon angioplasty of pulmonary vein stenosis in infants. This involves involves inflating a balloon in the narrow section of the pulmonary vein to widen the area so blood can flow through more easily.

  6. Artificial heart implantation as a bridge to transplantation for end-stage refractory biventricular heart failure (HTG459)

    Evidence-based recommendations on artificial heart implantation as a bridge to transplantation for end-stage refractory biventricular heart failure. This involves replacing the 2 lower chambers of the heart with a mechanical device to improve circulation until heart transplantation.

  7. Transcutaneous microwave ablation for severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis (HTG458)

    Evidence-based recommendations on transcutaneous microwave ablation for severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis in adults. This involves using microwaves to destroy sweat glands in the armpit.

  8. Endobronchial valve insertion to reduce lung volume in emphysema (HTG457)

    Evidence-based recommendations on endobronchial valve insertion to reduce lung volume in emphysema. This involves placing small one-way valves in some airways leading to damaged parts of the lungs.

  9. Transvaginal mesh repair of anterior or posterior vaginal wall prolapse (HTG456)

    Evidence-based recommendations on transvaginal mesh repair of anterior or posterior vaginal wall prolapse. This involves inserting a mesh to replace tissue that has weakened and caused the pelvic organs to drop down (prolapse) into the vagina.

  10. Hypoglossal nerve stimulation for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnoea (HTG455)

    Evidence-based recommendations on hypoglossal nerve stimulation for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnoea in adults. This involves implanting a device under the skin in the chest and connecting it to a nerve under the tongue (hypoglossal nerve).

  11. Liposuction for chronic lymphoedema (HTG622)

    Evidence-based recommendations on liposuction for chronic lymphoedema in adults. This involves using suction to remove fluid and fat through punctures in the skin.

  12. Intramedullary distraction for upper limb lengthening (HTG621)

    Evidence-based recommendations on intramedullary distraction for upper limb lengthening in children, young people and adults. This involves surgically inserting a metal lengthening device in the shorter arm.

  13. Wireless capsule endoscopy for investigation of the small bowel (HTG62)

    Evidence-based recommendations on wireless capsule endoscopy for investigation of the small bowel. This involves the person swallowing a small capsule containing a tiny camera that takes pictures as it passes through the body.

  14. Liposuction for chronic lipoedema (HTG618)

    Evidence-based recommendations on liposuction for chronic lipoedema in adults. This involves using suction to remove abnormal fat.

  15. Percutaneous insertion of a cystic duct stent after cholecystostomy for acute calculous cholecystitis (HTG617)

    Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous insertion of a cystic duct stent after cholecystostomy for acute calculous cholecystitis. This involves inserting a tube called a stent into or across the cystic duct. The aim is to allow bile to flow through the tube, bypassing the blockage and preventing further obstruction.
