Single-incision short sling mesh insertion for stress urinary incontinence in women (HTG419)
Evidence-based recommendations on single-incision short sling mesh insertion for stress urinary incontinence in women. This involves putting 2 short slings around the tube that carries urine from the bladder to support it.
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.
Evidence-based recommendations on subthalamotomy for Parkinson's disease. This involves putting very thin needles into the brain through small holes made in the skull.

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.
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.

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).

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.
