- Surgery for weight loss in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Oct-2014
Bariatric (weight loss) surgery for obesity is considered when other treatments have failed. The effects of the available bariatric procedures compared with medical management and with each other are uncertain. This is an update of a Cochrane review first - Surgery for women with anterior compartment prolapse
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Nov-2016
To minimise the rate of recurrent prolapse after traditional native tissue repair (anterior colporrhaphy), clinicians have utilised a variety of surgical techniques. - Surgery for women with apical vaginal prolapse
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Oct-2016
Apical vaginal prolapse is a descent of the uterus or vaginal vault (post-hysterectomy). Various surgical treatments are available and there are no guidelines to recommend which is the best. - Surgery for women with pelvic organ prolapse with or without stress urinary incontinence
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Aug-2018
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is common in women and is frequently associated with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). In many cases however, SUI is present only with the prolapse reduced (occult SUI) or may develop after surgical treatment for prolapse (de - Surgery for women with posterior compartment prolapse
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Mar-2018
Posterior vaginal wall prolapse (also known as 'posterior compartment prolapse') can cause a sensation of bulge in the vagina along with symptoms of obstructed defecation and sexual dysfunction. Interventions for prevention and conservative management inc - Surgery or radiosurgery plus whole brain radiotherapy versus surgery or radiosurgery alone for brain metastases
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Mar-2014
The benefits of adding upfront whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) to surgery or stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) when compared to surgery or SRS alone for treatment of brain metastases are unclear. - Surgery versus medical therapy for heavy menstrual bleeding
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Jan-2016
Heavy menstrual bleeding significantly impairs the quality of life of many otherwise healthy women. Perception of heavy menstrual bleeding is subjective and management usually depends upon what symptoms are acceptable to the individual. Surgical options i - Surgery versus non‐surgical management for unilateral ureteric‐pelvic junction obstruction in newborns and infants less than two years of age
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Jul-2016
Unilateral ureteric-pelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is the most common cause of obstructive uropathy and may lead to renal impairment and loss of renal function. The current diagnostic approach with renal imaging cannot reliably determine which newborn - Surgery versus non‐surgical treatment for bronchiectasis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Oct-2000
Standard treatment for bronchiectasis comprises postural drainage and various regimes of antibiotic therapy. If the disease is confined to localised areas of lung, surgical resection of the affected segments is often performed. - Surgery versus primary endocrine therapy for operable primary breast cancer in elderly women (70 years plus)
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-May-2014
Several studies have evaluated the clinical effectiveness of endocrine therapy alone in women aged 70 years or over with operable breast cancer and who are fit for surgery. - Surgery versus radical endotherapies for early cancer and high‐grade dysplasia in Barrett's oesophagus
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-May-2020
Barrett's oesophagus is one of the most common pre-malignant lesions in the world. Currently the mainstay of therapy is surgical management of advanced cancer but this has improved the five-year survival very little since the 1980s. As a consequence, impr - Surgery versus radiosurgery for patients with a solitary brain metastasis from non‐small cell lung cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Jan-2006
Non-small cell lung cancer is one of the leading causes of death in developed countries. Brain metastases are often seen in non-small cell lung cancer patients and although they are frequently multiple, a subset of patients with a solitary brain metastasi - Surgery versus radiotherapy for muscle invasive bladder cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Oct-2001
Muscle invasive bladder cancer is a serious clinical problem and is fatal for the majority of patients. Alternative treatments for this condition are radical cystectomy or radical radiotherapy. The choice of treatment varies according to the resident coun - Surgery versus sclerotherapy for the treatment of varicose veins
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Oct-2004
Varicose veins are a relatively common condition and account for around 54,000 in-patient hospital episodes per year. The two most common interventions for varicose veins are surgery and sclerotherapy. However, there is little comparative data regarding t - Surgery versus stereotactic radiotherapy for people with single or solitary brain metastasis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Aug-2018
Brain metastases occur when cancer cells spread from their original site to the brain and are a frequent cause of morbidity and death in people with cancer. They occur in 20% to 40% of people during the course of their disease. Brain metastases are also t - Surgery versus thrombolysis for initial management of acute limb ischaemia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Aug-2018
Both peripheral arterial thrombolysis and surgery can be used in the management of peripheral arterial ischaemia. Much is known about the indications, risks, and benefits of thrombolysis. However, whether thrombolysis works better than surgery for initial - Surgical adjunctive procedures for accelerating orthodontic treatment
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Jun-2015
A range of surgical and non-surgical techniques have received increasing attention in recent years in an effort to reduce the duration of a course of orthodontic treatment. Various surgical techniques have been used; however, uncertainty exists in relatio - Surgical and medical interventions for abdominal aortic graft infections
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Aug-2020
Abdominal aortic graft infections are a major complication following abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery, with high morbidity and mortality rates. They can be treated surgically or conservatively using medical management. The two most common surgical techni - Surgical and radiological interventions for treating symptomatic extracranial cervical artery dissection
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Feb-2021
Cervical artery dissection (CeAD) is a pathological bleed or tear, or both, in the wall of the carotid or vertebral arteries as they course through the neck, and is a leading cause of stroke in young people. - Surgical approach to hysterectomy for benign gynaecological disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Aug-2015
The four approaches to hysterectomy for benign disease are abdominal hysterectomy (AH), vaginal hysterectomy (VH), laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) and robotic-assisted hysterectomy (RH).
