  1. Implantation of a corneal graft–keratoprosthesis for severe corneal opacity in wet blinking eyes (IPG534)

    Evidence-based recommendations on implantation of a corneal graft–keratoprosthesis for severe corneal opacity in wet blinking eyes. This involves inserting an artificial cornea surrounded by a corneal graft from a human donor.

  2. Laparoscopic mobilisation of the greater omentum for breast reconstruction (IPG253)

    Evidence-based recommendations on laparoscopic mobilisation of the greater omentum for breast reconstruction. This involves removing the fatty tissue using special instruments through small cuts in the abdomen.

  3. Implantation of an opaque intraocular lens for intractable double vision (IPG293)

    Evidence-based recommendations on implantation of an opaque intraocular lens for intractable double vision. This involves replacing the clear lens of one eye with a non-transparent one to block out one of the double images.

  4. Thoracoscopic exclusion of the left atrial appendage (with or without surgical ablation) for non-valvular atrial fibrillation for the prevention of thromboembolism (IPG400)

    Evidence-based recommendations on thoracoscopic exclusion of the left atrial appendage in atrial fibrillation (with or without other cardiac surgery) for the prevention of thromboembolism. This involves inserting a camera and instruments through small cuts in the chest and closing the left atrial appendage.

  5. Melphalan chemosaturation with percutaneous hepatic artery perfusion and hepatic vein isolation for primary or metastatic cancer in the liver (IPG691)

    Evidence-based recommendations on melphalan chemosaturation with percutaneous hepatic artery perfusion and hepatic vein isolation for primary or metastatic cancer in the liver. This involves diverting the blood flow from the liver to the rest of the body while the drug is delivered directly into the liver.

  6. Open prenatal repair for open neural tube defects in the fetus (IPG668)

    Evidence-based recommendations on open prenatal repair of open neural tube defects in the fetus. This involves open surgery through the woman’s abdomen to close the gap in the baby’s spine.

  7. High-intensity focused ultrasound for prostate cancer (IPG118)

    Evidence-based recommendations on high-intensity focused ultrasound for treating prostate cancer. This involves inserting a probe through the rectum that gives out a beam of ultrasound to heat and destroy the cancerous prostate tissue.

  8. Autologous pancreatic islet cell transplantation for improved glycaemic control after pancreatectomy (IPG274)

    Evidence-based recommendations on autologous pancreatic islet cell transplantation for improved glycaemic control after pancreatectomy. This involves removing parts of the pancreas (islet cells) after the pancreas has been removed and inserting them into the liver to restart insulin production.

  9. Laparoscopic prostatectomy for benign prostatic obstruction (IPG275)

    Evidence-based recommendations on laparoscopic prostatectomy for benign prostatic obstruction. This involves removing the prostate through small cuts in the abdomen, using a fine telescope to see inside the body (keyhole surgery).

  10. Drainage, irrigation and fibrinolytic therapy (DRIFT) for post-haemorrhagic hydrocephalus in preterm infants (IPG412)

    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).

  11. Prosthetic intervertebral disc replacement in the cervical spine (IPG341)

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

  12. Darvadstrocel for treating complex perianal fistulas in Crohn's disease (TA556)

    Evidence-based recommendations on darvadstrocel (Alofisel) for previously treated complex perianal fistulas in adults with non-active or mildly active luminal Crohn’s disease.

  13. Vaginal transluminal endoscopic hysterectomy and adnexal surgery for benign gynaecological conditions (IPG774)

    Evidence-based recommendations on vaginal transluminal endoscopic hysterectomy and adnexal surgery for benign gynaecological conditions. This involves removing the uterus (womb), and sometimes the fallopian tubes and ovaries, through the vagina.

  14. Percutaneous laser therapy for fetal tumours (IPG180)

    Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous laser therapy for fetal tumours. This involves inserting a needle through the mother's abdomen to the tumour and using laser energy to shrink it.

  15. Intramedullary distraction for upper limb lengthening (IPG722)

    Evidence-based recommendations on intramedullary distraction for upper limb lengthening in children, young people and adults. This involves surgically inserting a metal lengthening device in the shorter arm.
