  1. Radially emitting laser fibre treatment of an anal fistula (HTG505)

    Evidence-based recommendations on radially emitting laser fibre treatment of an anal fistula in adults. This involves applying laser energy to the fistula.

  2. Percutaneous insertion of a temporary heart pump for left ventricular haemodynamic support in high-risk percutaneous coronary interventions (HTG492)

    Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous insertion of a temporary heart pump for left ventricular haemodynamic support in high-risk percutaneous coronary interventions. This involves inserting temporary pump to support circulation during a heart operation.

  3. Percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale for the secondary prevention of recurrent paradoxical embolism in divers (HTG243)

    Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale for the secondary prevention of recurrent paradoxical embolism in divers. This involves passing a device through a large vessel in the groin up into the heart and closing/blocking the hole in the wall.

  4. Incisionless otoplasty (HTG283)

    Evidence-based recommendations on incisionless otoplasty. This involves using a hollow needle to divide the ear cartilage, and using stitches buried under the skin to remould the ear.

  5. Selective internal radiation therapy for unresectable primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (HTG489)

    Evidence-based recommendations on selective internal radiation therapy for unresectable primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in adults. This involves injecting tiny radioactive ‘beads’ into blood vessels that supply the liver, where they become trapped and release radiation directly into the cancer cells.

  6. Liposuction for chronic lipoedema (HTG618)

    Evidence-based recommendations on liposuction for chronic lipoedema in adults. This involves using suction to remove abnormal fat.

  7. Ranibizumab for treating visual impairment caused by macular oedema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (TA283)

    Evidence-based recommendations on ranibizumab (Lucentis) for treating visual impairment caused by macular oedema secondary to retinal vein occlusion in adults.

  8. Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy for acute deep vein thrombosis of the leg (HTG516)

    Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy for acute deep vein thrombosis of the leg in adults. This involves removing the clot through a catheter inserted into the vein.

  9. Promoting tolerance of enteral feeds in children and young people: domperidone (ESUOM18)

    Summary of the evidence on domperidone to promote tolerance of enteral feeds in children and young people..

  10. Focal therapy using high-intensity focused ultrasound for localised prostate cancer (HTG667)

    Evidence-based recommendations on focal therapy using high-intensity focused ultrasound for localised prostate cancer. This involves using high-intensity focused ultrasound to heat up and destroy only the areas of the prostate with cancer (focal therapy). The aim is to destroy the cancer while reducing damage to healthy prostate tissue.

  11. Mavacamten for treating symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (TA913)

    Evidence-based recommendations on mavacamten (Camzyos) for symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

  12. Superior rectal artery embolisation for haemorrhoids (HTG485)

    Evidence-based recommendations on superior rectal artery embolisation for haemorrhoids in adults. This involves blocking the blood vessels supplying the haemorrhoids with tiny plastic particles or metal coils.

  13. Laparo-endogastric surgery (HTG10)

    Evidence-based recommendations on laparo-endogastric surgery. This involves performing surgery for gastric wall lesions by passing a flexible telescope (endoscope) through the gullet and into the stomach, and a thin tube (laparascope) through a small cut in the upper abdomen.

  14. Drug allergy: diagnosis and management (CG183)
