  1. Irreversible electroporation for treating prostate cancer (IPG768)

    Evidence-based recommendations on irreversible electroporation for treating prostate cancer. This involves using electrical pulses to destroy the cancer cells.

  2. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage for biliary obstruction (IPG761)

    Evidence-based recommendations on endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage for biliary obstruction. This involves passing a thin tube (called an endoscope) with an ultrasound probe at the tip through the mouth and into the stomach or small intestine. The blockage is located using sound waves and punctured. A short, wire mesh tube that acts like a scaffold (called a stent) is then inserted into the blocked duct. This allows bile to drain into the gut.

  3. Biodegradable subacromial spacer insertion for rotator cuff tears (IPG775)

    Evidence-based recommendations on biodegradable subacromial spacer insertion for rotator cuff tears. This involves inserting a balloon-shaped device between the top of the shoulder blade and the upper arm bone to reduce pain and improve shoulder function.

  4. Tissue-cultured limbal stem cell allograft transplantation for regrowth of corneal epithelium (IPG216)

    Evidence-based recommendations on tissue-cultured limbal stem cell allograft transplantation for regrowth of corneal epithelium. This involves taking limbal stem cells from a living or deceased donor, growing them in the laboratory and transplanting them onto the patient’s affected eye(s).

  5. Laparoscopic nephrolithotomy and pyelolithotomy (IPG212)

    Evidence-based recommendations on laparoscopic nephrolithotomy and pyelolithotomy. This involves inserting a tube through small cuts in the abdomen (keyhole surgery) to remove the kidney stones.

  6. Thoracoscopic aortopexy for severe primary tracheomalacia (IPG243)

    Evidence-based recommendations on thoracoscopic aortopexy for severe primary tracheomalacia. This involves attaching the aorta to the sternum with sutures, using special instruments through small cuts in the chest (keyhole surgery).

  7. Minimally invasive percutaneous surgical techniques with internal fixation for correcting hallux valgus (IPG789)

    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.

  8. Combined bony and soft tissue reconstruction for hip joint stabilisation in proximal focal femoral deficiency (PFFD) (IPG297)

    Evidence-based recommendations on combined bony and soft tissue reconstruction for hip joint stabilisation in proximal focal femoral deficiency (PFFD). This involves accessing the bones of the hip and pelvis through a cut made on the thigh and correcting the deformity as much as possible.

  9. Brachytherapy as the sole method of adjuvant radiotherapy for breast cancer after local excision (IPG268)

    Evidence-based recommendations on brachytherapy as the sole method of adjuvant radiotherapy for breast cancer after local excision. This involves inserting radioactive sources into the space in the breast where tissue has been removed to minimise the chances of the cancer coming back.

  10. Percutaneous (non-thoracoscopic) epicardial catheter radiofrequency ablation for ventricular tachycardia (IPG295)

    Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous (non-thoracoscopic) epicardial catheter radiofrequency ablation for ventricular tachycardia. This involves using heat to destroy selected areas of the heart to prevent the occurrence or conduction of abnormal electrical activity.

  11. Tenotomy of horizontal eye muscles for nystagmus (with reattachment at their original insertions) (IPG299)

    Evidence-based recommendations on tenotomy of horizontal eye muscles for nystagmus (with reattachment at their original insertions). This involves cutting the horizontal muscles of the eye (which move the eye from side to side) and reattaching them at the same place.

  12. Image-guided radiofrequency excision biopsy of breast lesions (IPG308)

    Evidence-based recommendations on image-guided radiofrequency excision biopsy of breast lesions. This involves inserting a probe that uses radiofrequency energy to cut through the breast internally, and removing the lump with a small area of surrounding tissue to test for cancer.

  13. Prosthetic intervertebral disc replacement in the lumbar spine (IPG306)

    Evidence-based recommendations on prosthetic intervertebral disc replacement in the lumbar spine. This involves removing the damaged disc and inserting an artificial disc in its place.

  14. Irreversible electroporation for treating renal cancer (IPG443)

    Evidence-based recommendations on irreversible electroporation (IRE) for treating renal cancer. This involves using electrical pulses to kill cancer cells, applied directly to the tumour through special needles.

  15. Robot-assisted kidney transplant (IPG609)

    Evidence-based recommendations on robot-assisted kidney transplant in adults. This involves the surgeon using a robot to help with a kidney transplant.
