  1. Endoscopic stapling of pharyngeal pouch (HTG8)

    Evidence-based recommendations on endoscopic stapling of pharyngeal pouch. This involves stapling the opening of the pharyngeal pouch through a specially designed endoscope.

  2. Collagen injection for vocal cord augmentation (HTG79)

    Evidence-based recommendations on collagen injection for vocal cord augmentation. This involves injecting collagen into the affected vocal cord(s).

  3. Computed tomographic colonography (virtual colonoscopy) (HTG78)

    Evidence-based recommendations on computed tomographic (CT) colonography (virtual colonoscopy). This involves using a CT scanner to help doctors see signs of cancer and detect polyps in the colon.

  4. Totally endoscopic robotically assisted coronary artery bypass grafting (HTG77)

    Evidence-based recommendations on totally endoscopic robotically assisted coronary artery bypass grafting (TECAB). This involves using small, remote-controlled robotic arms to carry out the grafting procedure.

  5. Balloon cryoablation for Barrett's oesophagus (HTG767)

    Evidence-based recommendations on balloon cryoablation for Barrett's oesophagus. This involves freezing and destroying the abnormal cells using a balloon inflated with very cold gas.

  6. VA ECMO for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in adults with refractory cardiac arrest (HTG765)

    Evidence-based recommendations on VA ECMO for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in adults with refractory cardiac arrest. This involves using an artificial lung to oxygenate the blood outside the body.

  7. Low-energy contact X-ray brachytherapy for rectal cancer (HTG763)

    Evidence-based recommendations on low-energy contact X-ray brachytherapy for rectal cancer. This involves inserting an X-ray tube through the anus into the rectum. The tube is placed in contact with the tumour and releases a low dose of X-ray radiation (brachytherapy) directly to it.

  8. Image-guided percutaneous laser ablation for primary and secondary liver tumours (HTG722)

    Evidence-based recommendations on image-guided percutaneous laser ablation for primary and secondary liver tumours. This involves heating up liver tissue to destroy tumours.

  9. 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.

  10. Lymphovenous anastomosis during axillary or inguinal node dissection for preventing secondary lymphoedema (HTG717)

    Evidence-based recommendations on lymphovenous anastomosis during axillary or inguinal node dissection for preventing secondary lymphoedema in adults. This involves diverting some of the lymphatic vessels around where lymph nodes have been removed to nearby veins.

  11. Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty for obesity (HTG711)

    Evidence-based recommendations on endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty for obesity. This involves using an endoscopic device to fold the stomach in on itself and stitch it together to reduce its volume.

  12. Temperature control to improve neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest (HTG710)

    Evidence-based recommendations on temperature control to improve neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest. This involves controlling a person’s body temperature while they are still unconscious after their heart has been restarted. Either their body is kept at a normal temperature of between 36.5°C and 37.5°C to prevent fever, or it is cooled to between 32.0°C and 36.0°C (therapeutic hypothermia).

  13. Cryotherapy for recurrent prostate cancer (HTG71)

    Evidence-based recommendations on cryotherapy for treating recurrent prostate cancer. This involves putting special needles or probes into the prostate and using Argon gas to freeze and destroy the cancerous prostate tissue.

  14. Pharyngeal electrical stimulation for neurogenic dysphagia (HTG709)

    Evidence-based recommendations on pharyngeal electrical stimulation for neurogenic dysphagia. This involves passing a catheter through the nose and into the throat where it is used to deliver small amounts of electrical current. The current travels from the throat to the brain and stimulates the areas involved in swallowing.

  15. Intravascular lithotripsy for calcified arteries in peripheral arterial disease (HTG707)

    Evidence-based recommendations on intravascular lithotripsy for calcified arteries in peripheral arterial disease. This involves using pressure waves to soften arterial plaque and widen the artery to improve blood flow.
