Trabecular stent bypass microsurgery for open-angle glaucoma (HTG432)
Evidence-based recommendations on trabecular stent bypass microsurgery for open-angle glaucoma. This involves inserting a hollow metal tube (stent) into the eye, to improve drainage of fluid from the eye.
Lateral interbody fusion in the lumbar spine for low back pain (HTG431)
Evidence-based recommendations on lateral interbody fusion in the lumbar spine for low back pain in adults. This involves removing the damaged disc and fixing parts of the spine together, to relieve pain.
Evidence-based recommendations on scleral expansion surgery for presbyopia. This involves making small incisions in the eye and inserting bands to stretch part of the sclera.

Evidence-based recommendations on joint distraction for ankle osteoarthritis in adults. This involves fixing a metal frame around the ankle and pulling the joint slightly apart using the frame to allow cartilage regrowth.
Insertion of a subretinal prosthesis system for retinitis pigmentosa (HTG392)
Evidence-based recommendations on insertion of a subretinal prosthesis system for retinitis pigmentosa. This involves performing a vitrectomy and implanting a microchip underneath the macula using a transscleral, then subretinal approach.
Sacral nerve stimulation for idiopathic chronic non-obstructive urinary retention (HTG391)
Evidence-based recommendations on sacral nerve stimulation for idiopathic chronic non-obstructive urinary retention. This involves implanting a stimulator device into the upper buttock to restore the ability to empty the bladder voluntarily.
Evidence-based recommendations on living-donor liver transplantation. This involves replacing a diseased or damaged liver with a healthy one from a living human donor.

Evidence-based recommendations on implantation of a corneal graft–keratoprosthesis for severe corneal opacity in wet blinking eyes. This involves inserting an artificial cornea surrounded by a corneal graft from a human donor.
Implanting a baroreceptor stimulation device for resistant hypertension (HTG387)
Evidence-based recommendations on implanting a baroreceptor stimulation device for resistant hypertension. This involves using electrical impulses from the device that stimulate baroreceptors to help the body lower blood pressure.
Preoperative high dose rate brachytherapy for rectal cancer (HTG383)
Evidence-based recommendations on preoperative high dose rate brachytherapy for rectal cancers. This involves inserting an applicator into the rectum and using it to deliver radiation to the tumour.
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for depression (HTG382)
Evidence-based recommendations on transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for depression. This involves electrical stimulation of the brain by applying a weak direct current to the scalp.
Joint distraction for knee osteoarthritis without alignment correction (HTG381)
Evidence-based recommendations on joint distraction for knee osteoarthritis without alignment correction. This involves fixing a metal frame around the knee to take weight off the joint and encourage the cartilage to repair itself.

Evidence-based recommendations on insertion of a double balloon catheter for induction of labour in pregnant women without previous caesarean section. The catheter aims to help induction by causing dilation of the cervix when the cervix is unfavourable for induction. The double balloon squeezes the cervix and stimulates local prostaglandin release, which leads to cervical ripening.
