  1. Scleral expansion surgery for presbyopia (HTG43)

    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.

  2. Radiation therapy for early Dupuytren's disease (HTG427)

    Evidence-based recommendations on radiation therapy for early Dupuytren’s contractures in adults. This involves directing low energy X-rays at the affected tissue.

  3. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy for Achilles tendinopathy (HTG426)

    Evidence-based recommendations on extracorporeal shockwave therapy for treating Achilles tendinopathy in adults. This involves passing shockwaves through the skin to the affected area.

  4. 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.

  5. Insertion of an annular disc implant at lumbar discectomy (HTG358)

    Evidence-based recommendations on insertion of an annular disc implant at lumbar discectomy. This involves inserting an implant to close the hole that is left in a torn disc after any bulging material has been removed during surgery.

  6. Telemetric adjustable pulmonary artery banding for pulmonary hypertension in infants with congenital heart defects (HTG357)

    Evidence-based recommendations on telemetric adjustable pulmonary artery banding for reducing pulmonary hypertension in infants with congenital heart defects. This involves placing a remote-controlled band around the pulmonary artery that can be tightened or loosened to control blood flow.

  7. Combined endoscopic and laparoscopic removal of colonic polyps (HTG354)

    Evidence-based recommendations on combined endoscopic and laparoscopic removal of colonic polyps. This involves using an endoscope in the bowel plus keyhole surgery through the skin of the abdomen to remove colonic polyps.

  8. Total prosthetic replacement of the temporomandibular joint (HTG352)

    Evidence-based recommendations on total prosthetic replacement of the temporomandibular joint. This involves replacing the joint with an artificial one.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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).
