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.
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.

Implantation of a sphenopalatine ganglion stimulation device for chronic cluster headache (HTG378)
Evidence-based recommendations on implantation of a sphenopalatine ganglion stimulation device for chronic cluster headache. This involves implanting a device into the cheek to stimulate a group of nerves called the sphenopalatine ganglion.
Evidence-based recommendations on electrotherapy for treating grade I to III haemorrhoids in adults. This involves using electric current to shrink the haemorrhoids.
Suture fixation of acute disruption of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis (HTG374)
Evidence-based recommendations on suture fixation of acute disruption of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis. This involves threading a suture through a tunnel made in the bones (tibia and fibula) and tying the ends together to fix the joint.
Radiofrequency ablation for gastric antral vascular ectasia (HTG373)
Evidence-based recommendations on radiofrequency ablation for gastric antral vascular ectasia. This involves using radiofrequency (heat) energy to stop the bleeding by destroying the enlarged blood vessels.
Evidence-based recommendations on implantation of a left ventricular assist device for destination therapy in people ineligible for heart transplantation.
Flexible endoscopic treatment of a pharyngeal pouch (HTG367)
Evidence-based recommendations on flexible endoscopic treatment of a pharyngeal pouch. This involves improving swallowing by widening the neck of the pouch so that food does not collect in it.
Open reduction of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (HTG365)
Evidence-based recommendations on open reduction of slipped capital femoral epiphysis. This involves fixxing a slipped capital femoral epiphysis back into its correct position to reduce the risk of avascular necrosis.
Hysteroscopic metroplasty of a uterine septum for recurrent miscarriage (HTG364)
Evidence-based recommendations on hysteroscopic metroplasty of a uterine septum for recurrent miscarriage. This involves removing the septum using instruments passed through a thin tube with a camera inserted into the womb.
Hysteroscopic metroplasty of a uterine septum for primary infertility (HTG363)
Evidence-based recommendations on hysteroscopic metroplasty of a uterine septum for primary infertility. This involves inserting a hysteroscope into the uterus through the cervix after cervical dilation, and excising the septum. The aim is to reduce morbidity and shorten the recovery period.
Evidence-based recommendations on laser sheath removal of pacing leads. This involves using a special tube (sheath) placed over the leads in the veins to destroy the scar tissue around the leads and pull the pacemaker lead away from the heart.
