  1. Magnetic resonance image-guided transcutaneous focused ultrasound for uterine fibroids (HTG277)

    Evidence-based recommendations on magnetic resonance image-guided transcutaneous focused ultrasound for uterine fibroids. This involves using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to locate the fibroids and direct high-intensity ultrasound energy to destroy fibroid tissue.

  2. Drainage, irrigation and fibrinolytic therapy (DRIFT) for post-haemorrhagic hydrocephalus in preterm infants (HTG276)

    Evidence-based recommendations on drainage, irrigation and fibrinolytic therapy (DRIFT) for post-haemorrhagic hydrocephalus in preterm infants. This involves draining excess CSF from the brain, washing out the blood, and breaking down blood clots using drugs (fibrinolytics).

  3. Arthroscopic femoro–acetabular surgery for hip impingement syndrome (HTG273)

    Evidence-based recommendations on arthroscopic femoro-acetabular surgery for hip impingement syndrome. This involves removing some of the cartilage or bone, with the aim of reshaping the joint surface.

  4. Minimally invasive oesophagectomy (HTG272)

    Evidence-based recommendations on minimally invasive oesophagectomy. This involves making small cuts or holes in the chest wall and inserting a camera and other instruments into the chest cavity to carry out the operation.

  5. Endoscopic radiofrequency ablation for squamous dysplasia of the oesophagus (HTG346)

    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.

  6. Radiofrequency tissue reduction for turbinate hypertrophy (HTG343)

    Evidence-based recommendations on radiofrequency tissue reduction for turbinate hypertrophy. This involves using radiofrequency energy to close blood vessels that can cause swelling and destroy excess tissue.

  7. Gastroelectrical stimulation for gastroparesis (HTG341)

    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.

  8. Arthroscopic radiofrequency chondroplasty for discrete chondral defects of the knee (HTG340)

    Evidence-based recommendations on arthroscopic radiofrequency chondroplasty for discrete chondral defects of the knee. This involves using a radiofrequency probe to heat and smooth any defects and rough edges in the cartilage.

  9. Percutaneous endoscopic laser thoracic discectomy (HTG34)

    Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous endoscopic laser thoracic discectomy. This involves using a laser to heat and destroy some of the inside of the disc and shrink the part that is sticking out.

  10. Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy for primary hyperhidrosis of the upper limb (HTG339)

    Evidence-based recommendations on endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy for primary hyperhidrosis of the upper limb. This involves dividing appropriate parts of the sympathetic chain beside the vertebral column to reduce sweating.

  11. Transoral carbon dioxide laser surgery for primary treatment of oropharyngeal malignancy (HTG337)

    Evidence-based recommendations on transoral carbon dioxide laser surgery for primary treatment of oropharyngeal malignancy. This involves using a laser to cut out the tumour and a small amount of the healthy flesh around it.

  12. Insertion of a magnetic bead band for faecal incontinence (HTG336)

    Evidence-based recommendations on insertion of a magnetic-bead band for faecal incontinence. This involves placing a ring of magnetic beads into a tunnel made around the anus to prevent incontinence.

  13. Electrochemotherapy for primary basal cell carcinoma and primary squamous cell carcinoma (HTG333)

    Evidence-based recommendations on electrochemotherapy for primary basal cell carcinoma and primary squamous cell carcinoma. This involves injecting a chemotherapy drug into the tumour and using electrical pulses to increase its effect.

  14. Optical coherence tomography to guide percutaneous coronary intervention (HTG332)

    Evidence-based recommendations on optical coherence tomography to guide percutaneous coronary intervention. This involves using near-infrared light to produce high-resolution images of blood vessel walls.

  15. Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy for primary facial blushing (HTG331)

    Evidence-based recommendations on endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy for primary facial blushing. This involves cutting off nerve signals to stop the blushing.
