  1. Superficial venous arterialisation for chronic limb threatening ischaemia (HTG637)

    Evidence-based recommendations on superficial venous arterialisation for chronic limb threatening ischaemia in adults. This involves joining an artery in the lower leg to a large vein to divert blood flow through the vein towards the foot, bypassing the blocked arteries.

  2. Transcutaneous electrical neuromuscular stimulation for urinary incontinence (HTG636)

    Evidence-based recommendations on transcutaneous electrical neuromuscular stimulation for urinary incontinence in adults. This involves stimulating nerves and muscles in the pelvic floor to strengthen the muscles and reduce urine leaks.

  3. Single-step scaffold insertion for repairing symptomatic chondral knee defects (HTG728)

    Evidence-based recommendations on single-step scaffold insertion for repairing symptomatic chondral knee defects. This involves inserting a scaffold into the damaged area of the knee to support regrowth and repair of the cartilage.

  4. Phrenic nerve pacing for ventilator-dependent high cervical spinal cord injury (HTG727)

    Evidence-based recommendations on phrenic nerve pacing for ventilator-dependent high cervical spinal cord injury. This involves stimulating the phrenic nerve to make the diaphragm contract, helping people to breathe without a ventilator.

  5. Phrenic nerve pacing for congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (HTG725)

    Evidence-based recommendations on phrenic nerve pacing for congenital central hypoventilation syndrome. This involves direct stimulation of the phrenic nerve, to produce the inhalation phrase of breathing.

  6. Minimally invasive percutaneous surgical techniques with internal fixation for correcting hallux valgus (HTG723)

    Evidence-based recommendations on minimally invasive percutaneous surgical techniques with internal fixation for correcting hallux valgus. This involves cutting into the big toe to remove the bunion and securing the bones at the front of the foot.

  7. Endoscopic duodenal mucosal resurfacing for insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes (HTG721)

    Evidence-based recommendations on endoscopic duodenal mucosal resurfacing for insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes. This involves using heat to destroy the lining of the duodenum to encourage a new lining to grow.

  8. Selective internal radiation therapy for neuroendocrine tumours that have metastasised to the liver (HTG720)

    Evidence-based recommendations on selective internal radiation therapy for neuroendocrine tumours that have metastasised to the liver. This involves injecting tiny radioactive spheres into the blood vessels that supply the liver metastases.

  9. Percutaneous transluminal renal sympathetic denervation for resistant hypertension (HTG662)

    Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous transluminal renal sympathetic denervation for resistant hypertension. This involves inserting a device through the skin (percutaneous) into an artery in the thigh and then into the renal arteries (transluminal). It sends radio or sound waves to destroy the nerves in the renal arteries (sympathetic denervation). The aim is to lower blood pressure.

  10. Endoluminal gastroplication for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (HTG661)

    Evidence-based recommendations on endoluminal gastroplication for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. This involves an endoscopic fastening device being inserted through the mouth and into the stomach, along with an endoscope for constant visualisation. The device is used to attach the fundus to the anterior and left lateral wall of the distal oesophagus slightly above the oesophagogastric junction.

  11. Artificial metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joint replacement for end-stage arthritis (HTG66)

    Evidence-based recommendations on artificial metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joint replacement for end-stage arthritis. This involves removing the diseased joints and replacing them with artificial ones.

  12. Biodegradable spacer insertion to reduce rectal toxicity during radiotherapy for prostate cancer (HTG659)

    Evidence-based recommendations on biodegradable spacer insertion to reduce rectal toxicity during radiotherapy for prostate cancer. This involves pushing the rectum slightly away from the prostate by inserting a balloon or injecting a gel (spacer) between them.

  13. Transvenous obliteration for gastric varices (HTG658)

    Evidence-based recommendations on transvenous obliteration for gastric varices. This involves inserting a tube with a tiny balloon on the end into a vein in the thigh or neck. The tube is then passed into the enlarged vein in the stomach (gastric varix) and the balloon is inflated to stop blood flowing into the vein. The vein is then blocked using one of several techniques. The aim is to reduce the risk of bleeding.

  14. Trabeculectomy with a biodegradable collagen matrix implant for glaucoma (HTG656)

    Evidence-based recommendations on trabeculectomy with a biodegradable collagen matrix implant for glaucoma. This involves cutting a small flap in the white of the eye and putting a patch over the flap to help healing and prevent scarring. Fluid slowly drains out of the flap and the patch dissolves over time. The aim is to reduce pressure in the eye and slow or stop damage to sight.

  15. Laparoscopic insertion of a magnetic ring for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (HTG654)

    Evidence-based recommendations on laparoscopic insertion of a magnetic ring for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. This involves placing a ring of beads outside of the food pipe, just above the stomach. Magnets inside the beads hold them together to keep the food pipe closed but are weak enough to move apart to allow food or liquid to be swallowed. The aim is to prevent acid reflux.
