  1. Computed tomographic colonography (virtual colonoscopy) (HTG78)

    Evidence-based recommendations on computed tomographic (CT) colonography (virtual colonoscopy). This involves using a CT scanner to help doctors see signs of cancer and detect polyps in the colon.

  2. Endoscopic transluminal pancreatic necrosectomy (HTG421)

    Evidence-based recommendations on endoscopic transluminal pancreatic necrosectomy in adults. This involves removing dead tissue from the pancreas.

  3. Sutureless aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis (HTG483)

    Evidence-based recommendations on sutureless aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis in adults. This involves removing the narrowed aortic valve and replacing it with an artificial valve that holds itself in place.

  4. Type 2 diabetes: insulin degludec (ESNM25)

    Summary of the evidence on insulin degludec for treating type 2 diabetes to inform local NHS planning and decision-making

  5. Learning disability: behaviour that challenges (QS101)

    This quality standard covers care and support and services for children, young people and adults with a learning disability (or a learning disability and autism) and behaviour that challenges, and their families and carers. It describes high quality care in priority areas for improvement.

  6. Total distal radioulnar joint replacement for symptomatic joint instability or arthritis (HTG451)

    Evidence-based recommendations on total distal radioulnar joint replacement for symptomatic joint instability or arthritis in adults. This involves removing the wrist end of the ulna and replacing it with a metal prosthesis that also attaches to the wrist end of the radius.

  7. Percutaneous intradiscal laser ablation in the lumbar spine (HTG230)

    Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous intradiscal laser ablation in the lumbar spine. This involves using a laser to destroy part of the disc, with the aim of shrinking it.

  8. Percutaneous mitral valve annuloplasty (HTG225)

    Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous mitral valve annuloplasty. This involves inserting a catheter into a large vein in the groin or neck and passing through to the heart. A device is placed into a large vein that sits next to the mitral valve to constrict the valve, with the aim of making it close properly.

  9. Laparoscopic renal denervation for loin pain haematuria syndrome (HTG596)

    Evidence-based recommendations on laparoscopic renal denervation for loin pain haematuria syndrome in adults. This involves the stripping away of nerves from the kidney using keyhole surgery to relieve pain.

  10. Cryotherapy for chronic rhinitis (HTG692)

    Evidence-based recommendations on cryotherapy for chronic rhinitis. This involves destroying a nerve in the nose to reduce chronic rhinitis symptoms.

  11. Leadless cardiac pacemaker implantation for bradyarrhythmias (HTG484)

    Evidence-based recommendations on leadless cardiac pacemaker implantation for bradyarrhythmias in adults. This involves inserting a device into the heart that helps it beat at a normal rate.

  12. Extracorporeal albumin dialysis for acute liver failure (HTG202)

    Evidence-based recommendations on extracorporeal albumin dialysis for acute liver failure. This involves using a dialysis machine to remove both water-soluble toxins and toxins that are attached to albumin and accumulate in liver failure.

  13. Processed nerve allografts to repair peripheral nerve discontinuities (HTG454)

    Evidence-based recommendations on processed nerve allografts to repair peripheral nerve discontinuities. This involves using a specially treated nerve (an allograft) taken from a human donor after death to bridge the gap in the nerve.

  14. Radiofrequency ablation of varicose veins (HTG2)

    Evidence-based recommendations on radiofrequency ablation of varicose veins. This involves using radiofrequency energy to heat the wall of the vein so that it collapses.

  15. Insertion of endobronchial nitinol coils to improve lung function in emphysema (HTG370)

    Evidence-based recommendations on insertion of endobronchial nitinol coils to improve lung function in emphysema. This involves inserting coils to reduce airflow to damaged parts of the lung.
