NICE makes 4 types of recommendation that allow us to produce clear, directive, actionable guidance that is easy to understand and put into practice.
Insertion of a subretinal prosthesis system for retinitis pigmentosa (HTG392)
Evidence-based recommendations on insertion of a subretinal prosthesis system for retinitis pigmentosa. This involves performing a vitrectomy and implanting a microchip underneath the macula using a transscleral, then subretinal approach.
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.
Percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for refractory neuropathic pain (HTG308)
Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for refractory neuropathic pain. This involves inserting electrode needles underneath the skin connected to a stimulator device.

Evidence-based recommendations on gastroelectrical stimulation for gastroparesis. This involves using a stimulating device to send electrical impulses to the stomach muscles to help them work normally.
Single-anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy for treating morbid obesity (HTG423)
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.
Evidence-based recommendations on endoscopic transluminal pancreatic necrosectomy in adults. This involves removing dead tissue from the pancreas.
Evidence-based recommendations on tenotomy of horizontal eye muscles for nystagmus (with reattachment at their original insertions). This involves cutting the horizontal muscles of the eye (which move the eye from side to side) and reattaching them at the same place.
