Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Sep-2015
Fractures of the tibial plateau, which are intra-articular injuries of the knee joint, are often difficult to treat and have a high complication rate, including early-onset osteoarthritis. Surgical fixation is usually used for more complex tibial plateau - Surgical hand antisepsis to reduce surgical site infection
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Jan-2016
Medical professionals routinely carry out surgical hand antisepsis before undertaking invasive procedures to destroy transient micro-organisms and inhibit the growth of resident micro-organisms. Antisepsis may reduce the risk of surgical site infections ( - Surgical implantation of steroids with antiangiogenic characteristics for treating neovascular age-related macular degeneration
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Dec-2012
Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is associated with rapid vision loss due to choroidal neovascularization (CNV), leakage, and scarring. Steroids have gained attention in their role for the treatment of neovascular AMD for their antiangio - Surgical interruption of pelvic nerve pathways for primary and secondary dysmenorrhoea
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Sep-2010
Dysmenorrhoea is the occurrence of painful menstrual cramps of uterine origin and is a very common gynaecological complaint with negative effect on a sufferer's quality of life. Medical therapy for dysmenorrhoea includes oral contraceptive pills (OCP) and - Surgical intervention for anorectal fistula
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Apr-2010
Surgery for anorectal fistula may result in recurrence, or impairment of continence. The ideal treatment for anorectal fistulae should be associated with low recurrence rates, minimal incontinence and good quality of life. - Surgical intervention versus expectant management for endometrial polyps in subfertile women
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Aug-2014
Endometrial polyps, which are benign growths of the endometrium, may be a factor in female subfertility. Possible mechanisms include physical interference with gamete transport, alteration of the endometrial milieu and unresponsiveness to the cyclical glo - Surgical interventions (microfracture, drilling, mosaicplasty, and allograft transplantation) for treating isolated cartilage defects of the knee in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Sep-2016
Cartilage defects of the knee are often debilitating and predispose to osteoarthritis. Microfracture, drilling, mosaicplasty, and allograft transplantation are four surgical treatment options that are increasingly performed worldwide. We set out to examin - Surgical interventions for age-related cataract
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Nov-2008
Cataract accounts for 50% of blindness globally and remains the leading cause of visual impairment in all regions of the world, despite improvements in surgical outcomes (WHO 2005). This number is expected to rise due to an aging population and increase i - Surgical interventions for anterior shoulder instability in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Aug-2009
The shoulder is the most common joint to develop recurrent instability. Repair of labral tears of the joint and reconstruction of damaged capsule and torn ligaments either by open or arthroscopic methods remain the cornerstone of current management. - Surgical interventions for bilateral congenital cataract
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Jun-2008
Congenital cataracts are opacities of the lens in one or both eyes of children that cause a reduction in vision severe enough to require surgery. Cataract is the largest treatable cause of visual loss in childhood. Paediatric cataracts provide different c - Surgical interventions for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Nov-2014
Surgical treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps is an established treatment for medically resistant nasal polyp disease. Whether a nasal polypectomy with additional sinus dissection offers any advantage over an isolated nasal polypectomy ha - Surgical interventions for diaphyseal fractures of the radius and ulna in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Sep-2011
Diaphyseal forearm fractures in children are a common injury usually resulting from a fall. The treatment options include non-surgical intervention (manipulation and application of cast) and surgical options such as internal fixation with intramedullary n - Surgical interventions for early squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Jul-2014
Radical surgery has been standard treatment for patients with early vulvar cancer since the mid 1900s. Survival figures are excellent, but complication rates are high. Since 1980, surgery has become more individualised in order to decrease complications i - Surgical interventions for high-grade vulval intraepithelial neoplasia

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jul-2019
Osteoarthritis affecting the knee is common and represents a continuum of disease from early cartilage thinning to full-thickness cartilage loss, bony erosion, and deformity. Many studies do not stratify their results based on the severity of the disease - Surgical interventions for the early management of Bell's palsy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Oct-2014
Bell's palsy is an acute paralysis of one side of the face of unknown aetiology. Bell's palsy should only be used as a diagnosis in the absence of all other pathology. As the proposed pathophysiology is swelling and entrapment of the nerve, some surgeons
