Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous insertion of craniocaudal expandable implants for vertebral compression fracture in adults. This involves inserting an implant into the spine to restore the vertebral height.
Single-anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy for treating morbid obesity (IPG569)
Evidence-based recommendations on single-anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy for treating morbid obesity. This involves reducing the size of the stomach and small intestine to reduce the amount of food absorbed.
Percutaneous endoscopic laser balloon pulmonary vein isolation for atrial fibrillation (IPG563)
Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous endoscopic laser balloon pulmonary vein isolation for atrial fibrillation in adults. This involves destroying the tissue causing atrial fibrillation using laser energy.
Transvaginal mesh repair of anterior or posterior vaginal wall prolapse (IPG599)
Evidence-based recommendations on transvaginal mesh repair of anterior or posterior vaginal wall prolapse. This involves inserting a mesh to replace tissue that has weakened and caused the pelvic organs to drop down (prolapse) into the vagina.
Transcutaneous microwave ablation for severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis (IPG601)
Evidence-based recommendations on transcutaneous microwave ablation for severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis in adults. This involves using microwaves to destroy sweat glands in the armpit.
Endovenous mechanochemical ablation for varicose veins (IPG557)
Evidence-based recommendations on endovenous mechanochemical ablation for varicose veins. This involves using a rotating wire and chemical to close the varicose vein.
Evidence-based recommendations on transcervical extracorporeal reverse flow neuroprotection for reducing the risk of stroke during carotid artery stenting in adults. This involves reversing blood flow away from the brain and filtering the blood to remove any debris.

Ultrasound-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation for benign thyroid nodules (IPG562)
Evidence-based recommendations on ultrasound-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation for treating benign thyroid nodules in adults. This involves using heat energy to destroy tissue in the nodules.
Total prosthetic replacement of the temporomandibular joint (IPG500)
Evidence-based recommendations on total prosthetic replacement of the temporomandibular joint. This involves replacing the joint with an artificial one.
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.
Insertion of an annular disc implant at lumbar discectomy (IPG506)
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.
Implantation of a sphenopalatine ganglion stimulation device for chronic cluster headache (IPG527)
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 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.
Endoscopic radiofrequency ablation for squamous dysplasia of the oesophagus (IPG497)
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.
