- Endonasal versus external dacryocystorhinostomy for nasolacrimal duct obstruction
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Feb-2017

It can be performed - Endoscopic balloon sphincter dilation (sphincteroplasty) versus sphincterotomy for common bile duct stones
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Oct-2006
Endoscopic balloon dilation was introduced as an alternative to endoscopic sphincterotomy to preserve the sphincter of Oddi and avoid undesirable effects due to an incompetent sphincter. Endoscopic balloon dilation has been largely abandoned by USA endosc - Endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) for open angle glaucoma and primary angle closure
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Feb-2019
Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness. A number of minimally invasive surgical techniques have been introduced as a treatment to prevent glaucoma progressing. Among them, endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) is a cyclodestructive procedu - Endoscopic injection of cyanoacrylate glue versus other endoscopic procedures for acute bleeding gastric varices in people with portal hypertension
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-May-2015
In people with portal hypertension, gastric varices are less prevalent than oesophageal varices. The risk of bleeding from gastric varices seems to be lower than from oesophageal varices; however, when gastric varices bleed, it is often severe and associa - Endoscopic mucosal resection for early gastric cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Oct-2009
The treatment of early gastric cancer (EGC) using endoscopy, namely endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), has been adopted for about 20 years, but the effectiveness and safety of the modality are still controversial. Furthermore, the risk of bias of trials - Endoscopic or surgical intervention for painful obstructive chronic pancreatitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Mar-2015
Endoscopy and surgery are the treatment modalities of choice for patients with chronic pancreatitis and dilated pancreatic duct (obstructive chronic pancreatitis). Physicians face, without clear consensus, the choice between endoscopy or surgery for this - Endoscopic pneumatic dilation versus botulinum toxin injection in the management of primary achalasia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Dec-2014
Achalasia is an oesophageal motility disorder, of unknown cause, which results in increased lower oesophageal sphincter (LOS) tone and symptoms of difficulty swallowing. Treatments are aimed at reducing the LOS tone. Current endoscopic therapeutic options - Endoscopic release for carpal tunnel syndrome
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Jan-2014
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common compressive neuropathy of the upper extremity. It is caused by increased pressure on the median nerve between the transverse carpal ligament and the carpal bones. Surgical treatment consists of the release o - Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography with or without stenting in patients with pancreaticobiliary malignancy, prior to surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Nov-2008
Postoperative morbidity and mortality are high in patients undergoing pancreatico-duodenectomy for malignant pancreatico-biliary stricture. Different approaches have been tried to improve the outcomes, including pre-surgical biliary stenting with endoscop - Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography versus intraoperative cholangiography for diagnosis of common bile duct stones
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Feb-2015
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) are tests used in the diagnosis of common bile duct stones in people suspected of having common bile duct stones. There has been no systematic review of the dia - Endoscopic scoring indices for evaluation of disease activity in Crohn’s disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Aug-2016
Endoscopic assessment of mucosal disease activity is widely used to determine eligibility and response to therapy in clinical trials of treatment for Crohn’s disease. However, the operating properties of the currently available endoscopic indices remain u - Endoscopic scoring indices for evaluation of disease activity in ulcerative colitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Jan-2018
Endoscopic assessment of mucosal disease activity is routinely used to determine eligibility and response to therapy in clinical trials of ulcerative colitis. The operating properties of the existing endoscopic scoring indices are unclear. - Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) for idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH)
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Jul-2015
Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a type of communicating hydrocephalus also known as non-obstructive hydrocephalus. This type of hydrocephalus is caused by impaired cerebrospinal fluid reabsorption without any obstruction in the ventricu - Endoscopic ultrasound versus magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography for common bile duct stones
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Feb-2015
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) are tests used in the diagnosis of common bile duct stones in patients suspected of having common bile duct stones prior to undergoing invasive treatment. There has been no - Endothelial keratoplasty versus penetrating keratoplasty for Fuchs endothelial dystrophy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Feb-2014
Fuchs endothelial dystrophy (FED) is a condition in which there is premature degeneration of corneal endothelial cells. When the number of endothelial cells is reduced to a significant degree, fluid begins to accumulate within the cornea. As a result, the - Endothelin receptor antagonists for persistent pulmonary hypertension in term and late preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Aug-2016
Endothelin, a powerful vasoconstrictor, is one of the mediators in the causation of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN). Theoretically, endothelin receptor antagonists (ETRA) have the potential to improve the outcomes of infants with P - Endothelin receptor antagonists for pulmonary arterial hypertension
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Mar-2021
Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a devastating disease that leads to right heart failure and premature death. Endothelin receptor antagonists have shown efficacy in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. - Endothelin receptor antagonists for subarachnoid hemorrhage
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jul-2012
A subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition where blood leaks out of blood vessels over the surface of the brain. Delayed ischemic neurological deficit (DIND) and the related feature of vasospasm, where patients - Endotracheal intubation at birth for preventing morbidity and mortality in vigorous, meconium‐stained infants born at term
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Jan-2001
On the basis of evidence from non-randomised studies, it has been recommended that all babies born through thick meconium should have their tracheas intubated so that suctioning of their airways can be performed.
