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.
Assessing motility of the gastrointestinal tract using a wireless capsule (IPG502)
Evidence-based recommendations on assessing motility of the gastrointestinal tract using a wireless capsule. This involves swallowing a capsule that sends bowel information as it passes through the digestive system.
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.
Insertion of a collagen plug to close an abdominal wall enterocutaneous fistula (IPG507)
Evidence-based recommendations on insertion of a collagen plug to close an abdominal wall enterocutaneous fistula. This involves inserting a collagen plug into the fistula to seal off where it joins the bowel.
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.
Powered microdebrider turbinoplasty for inferior turbinate hypertrophy (IPG498)
Evidence-based recommendations on powered microdebrider turbinoplasty for inferior turbinate hypertrophy. This involves cutting away some of the swollen membrane covering the turbinates.

Evidence-based recommendations on minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy. This involves inserting instruments through a small cut (keyhole surgery) to remove part or all of the gland.
Hysteroscopic metroplasty of a uterine septum for primary infertility (IPG509)
Evidence-based recommendations on hysteroscopic metroplasty of a uterine septum for primary infertility. This involves inserting a hysteroscope into the uterus through the cervix after cervical dilation, and excising the septum. The aim is to reduce morbidity and shorten the recovery period.
Faecal microbiota transplant for recurrent Clostridium difficile infection (IPG485)
Evidence-based recommendations on faecal microbiota transplant for recurrent Clostridium difficile infection. This involves introducing enteric bacteria from the faeces of healthy donors to restore a healthy balance of bacteria in the gut.
