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.
Percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale to prevent recurrent cerebral embolic events (HTG325)
Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous closure of the patent foramen ovale for the prevention of cerebral embolic stroke. This involves placing a small device into the heart to close the hole.
Evidence-based recommendations on phrenic nerve transfer in brachial plexus injury. This involves finding the phrenic nerve, cutting it and joining it to the damaged nerve in the brachial plexus.
Negative pressure wound therapy for the open abdomen (HTG321)
Evidence-based recommendations on negative pressure wound therapy for the open abdomen. This involves using a small pump to remove infected material, stop fluid escaping and help the wound heal.
Evidence-based recommendations on subfascial endoscopic perforator vein surgery. This involves cutting and closing off, or heating and sealing, perforator veins so that blood can no longer go through them.
