  1. Living-donor lung transplantation for end-stage lung disease (IPG170)

    Evidence-based recommendations on living-donor lung transplantation for end-stage lung disease. This involves removing a lung from each of the two donors and replacing the recipient's lungs with the donor lungs.

  2. Laparoscopic helium plasma coagulation for the treatment of endometriosis (IPG171)

    Evidence-based recommendations on laparoscopic helium plasma coagulation for the treatment of endometriosis. This involves a minimally invasive procedure used to vaporise endometrial deposits.

  3. High dose rate brachytherapy in combination with external-beam radiotherapy for localised prostate cancer (IPG174)

    Evidence-based recommendations on high dose rate brachytherapy in combination with external-beam radiotherapy for localised prostate cancer. This involves using radiotherapy to treat the cancer from both outside of the body and from within the affected area.

  4. Percutaneous fetal balloon valvuloplasty for pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (IPG176)

    Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous fetal balloon valvuloplasty for pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum. This involves opening up the closed pulmonary valve of the babies heart while it is still in the womb using a balloon-like device.

  5. Short-term circulatory support with left ventricular assist devices as a bridge to cardiac transplantation or recovery (IPG177)

    Evidence-based recommendations on short-term circulatory support with left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) as a bridge to heart transplantation or recovery. This involves inserting a mechanical device into the chest to help the heart pump blood around the body.

  6. Tonsillectomy using ultrasonic scalpel (IPG178)

    Evidence-based recommendations on tonsillectomy using ultrasonic scalpel. This involves using high-energy waves to cut the tonsils out and stop the bleeding at the same time.

  7. Percutaneous cementoplasty for palliative treatment of bony malignancies (IPG179)

    Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous cementoplasty for palliative treatment of bony malignancies. This involves injecting a special cement into the bone in order to stabilise it, reduce pain, or both.

  8. Bone-anchored cystourethropexy (IPG18)

    Evidence-based recommendations on bone-anchored cystourethropexy for treating stress urinary incontinence in women. Bone-anchored cystourethropexy is a minimally invasive bladder neck needle suspension procedure.

  9. Percutaneous laser therapy for fetal tumours (IPG180)

    Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous laser therapy for fetal tumours. This involves inserting a needle through the mother's abdomen to the tumour and using laser energy to shrink it.

  10. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound to promote healing of delayed-union and non-union fractures (IPG623)

    Evidence-based recommendations on low-intensity pulsed ultrasound to promote healing of delayed-union and non-union fractures in adults. This involves using an ultrasound probe on the skin at the site of the fracture.

  11. Sutureless aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis (IPG624)

    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.

  12. Transurethral water vapour ablation for lower urinary tract symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (IPG625)

    Evidence-based recommendations on transurethral water vapour ablation for lower urinary tract symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia in adults. This involves using heated water vapour to destroy some of the prostate tissue.

  13. Leadless cardiac pacemaker implantation for bradyarrhythmias (IPG626)

    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.

  14. Superior rectal artery embolisation for haemorrhoids (IPG627)

    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.

  15. Selective internal radiation therapy for unresectable primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IPG630)

    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.
