  1. Assessing motility of the gastrointestinal tract using a wireless capsule (HTG351)

    Evidence-based recommendations on assessing motility of the gastrointestinal tract using a wireless capsule. This involves swallowing a capsule that sends bowel information as it passes through the digestive system.

  2. Falloposcopy with coaxial catheter (HTG35)

    Evidence-based recommendations on falloposcopy with coaxial catheter. This involves using a small camera passed through a narrow tube to look inside a woman’s fallopian tubes and see if there are any problems that may be affecting her ability to become pregnant.

  3. Minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy (HTG349)

    Evidence-based recommendations on minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy. This involves inserting instruments through a small cut (keyhole surgery) to remove part or all of the gland.

  4. Powered microdebrider turbinoplasty for inferior turbinate hypertrophy (HTG347)

    Evidence-based recommendations on powered microdebrider turbinoplasty for inferior turbinate hypertrophy. This involves cutting away some of the swollen membrane covering the turbinates.

  5. Endoscopic radiofrequency ablation for squamous dysplasia of the oesophagus (HTG346)

    Evidence-based recommendations on endoscopic radiofrequency ablation for squamous dysplasia of the oesophagus. This involves using radiofrequency (heat) energy to destroy the abnormal cells and to promote the growth of healthy squamous cells.

  6. Radiofrequency tissue reduction for turbinate hypertrophy (HTG343)

    Evidence-based recommendations on radiofrequency tissue reduction for turbinate hypertrophy. This involves using radiofrequency energy to close blood vessels that can cause swelling and destroy excess tissue.

  7. Endoscopic saphenous vein harvest for coronary artery bypass grafting (HTG342)

    Evidence-based recommendations on endoscopic saphenous vein harvest for coronary artery bypass grafting. This involves removing the vein under endoscopic guidance through a small cut near the knee (keyhole surgery).

  8. Gastroelectrical stimulation for gastroparesis (HTG341)

    Evidence-based recommendations on gastroelectrical stimulation for gastroparesis. This involves using a stimulating device to send electrical impulses to the stomach muscles to help them work normally.

  9. 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.

  10. Lumbar subcutaneous shunt (HTG41)

    Evidence-based recommendations on lumbar subcutaneous shunt. This involves using a shunt to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid away so that it doesn’t damage the brain or eyes.

  11. Microwave ablation for treating liver metastases (HTG409)

    Evidence-based recommendations on microwave ablation for treating liver metastases in adults. This involves using heat energy to destroy cancer cells.

  12. Transcutaneous stimulation of the cervical branch of the vagus nerve for cluster headache and migraine (HTG408)

    Evidence-based recommendations on transcutaneous stimulation of the cervical branch of the vagus nerve to treat cluster headache and migraine in adults. This involves using a small handheld device to stimulate a nerve in the neck.

  13. Corticosteroid-eluting bioabsorbable stent or spacer insertion during endoscopic sinus surgery to treat chronic rhinosinusitis (HTG407)

    Evidence-based recommendations on corticosteroid-eluting bioabsorbable stent or spacer insertion during endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis in adults. This involves putting a stent (short tube) into the sinus to improve drainage.

  14. Endoscopic carbon dioxide laser cricopharyngeal myotomy for relief of oropharyngeal dysphagia (HTG406)

    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.

  15. Normothermic extracorporeal preservation of hearts for transplantation following donation after brainstem death (HTG404)

    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.
