  1. YAG laser vitreolysis for symptomatic vitreous floaters (HTG644)

    Evidence-based recommendations on YAG laser vitreolysis for symptomatic vitreous floaters. This involves a special type of laser (YAG) firing short pulses of energy into the floaters, to break them up (vitreolysis) and reduce sight disturbances.

  2. Transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the supraorbital nerve for treating and preventing migraine (HTG643)

    Evidence-based recommendations on transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the supraorbital nerve for treating and preventing migraine in adults. This involves attaching a small device on the forehead to send small electrical currents to the nerves that bring sensation to the upper eyelids, forehead and scalp.

  3. Neurostimulation of lumbar muscles for refractory non-specific chronic low back pain (HTG641)

    Evidence-based recommendations on neurostimulation of lumbar muscles for refractory non-specific chronic low back pain in adults. This involves implanting a pulse generator under the skin of the upper buttock or lower back, which the person can use to manage their pain.

  4. Removal, preservation and subsequent reimplantation of ovarian tissue to prevent symptoms from the menopause (HTG640)

    Evidence-based recommendations on removal, preservation and subsequent reimplantation of ovarian tissue to prevent symptoms from the menopause. This involves removing a small piece of ovarian tissue using keyhole surgery, freezing and storing it. After menopause starts, the tissue is thawed and transplanted under the skin of the armpit, abdomen or forearm, with the aim of producing oestrogen.

  5. Coil embolisation of ruptured intracranial aneurysms (HTG64)

    Evidence-based recommendations on coil embolisation of ruptured intracranial aneurysms. This involves passing a thin tube through the body to place coils inside the aneurysm.

  6. Prostatic urethral temporary implant insertion for lower urinary tract symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (HTG639)

    Evidence-based recommendations on prostatic urethral temporary implant insertion for lower urinary tract symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia. This involves positioning a temporary implant in the urethra to increase the flow of urine.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. Radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation in association with other cardiac surgery (HTG72)

    Evidence-based recommendations on radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation in association with other cardiac surgery. This involves scarring the heart tissue using heat to interrupt abnormal electrical signals.
