- 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

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Nov-2021
Lamellar macular holes (LMHs) are small, partial-thickness defects of the macula defined by characteristic features on optical coherence tomography (OCT), including a newly recognised type of epiretinal membrane termed ‘epiretinal proliferation’. There ma

Primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) manifests within the first few years of a child's life and is not associated with any other systemic or ocular abnormalities. PCG results in considerable morbidity even in developed countries. Several surgical techniques
- 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
- Surgical interventions for the management of chronic pelvic pain in women
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Dec-2021
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a common gynaecological condition accounting for 20% of all gynaecological referrals. There are wide ranges of causes with overlapping symptomatology, therefore the management of the condition is a formidable challenge for cli
- Surgical interventions for the rheumatoid shoulder
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Nov-2009
Involvment of the shoulder joint in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) leads to severe destruction of the glenohumeral joint. When conservative treatment does not result in sufficient improvement, surgical procedures may be considered as the only ben
- Surgical interventions for treating acute Achilles tendon ruptures
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Aug-2010
There is a lack of consensus on the best management of the acute Achilles tendon rupture. Treatment can be broadly classified into surgical (open or percutaneous) and non-surgical (cast immobilisation or functional bracing).
- Surgical interventions for treating acute fractures or non-union of the middle third of the clavicle
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-May-2015
This review covers two conditions: acute clavicle fractures and non-union resulting from failed fracture healing. Clavicle (collarbone) fractures account for around 4% of all fractures. While treatment for these fractures is usually non-surgical, some typ
- Surgical interventions for treating distal humeral fractures in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Nov-2012
Distal humeral fractures in adults are relatively uncommon injuries that require surgical intervention in most cases. There is a lack of consensus regarding the best management of distal humeral fractures in adults, including the role of conservative trea
- Surgical interventions for treating distal radial fractures in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-May-2009
Fracture of the distal radius is a common clinical problem, particularly in older white women with osteoporosis.
- Surgical interventions for treating distal tibial metaphyseal fractures in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Apr-2015
The distal tibial metaphysis is located in the lower (distal) part of the tibia (shin bone). Fractures of this part of the tibia are most commonly due to a high energy injury in young men and to osteoporosis in older women. The optimal methods of surgical
- Surgical interventions for treating extracapsular hip fractures in older adults: a network meta‐analysis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Feb-2022
Hip fractures are a major healthcare problem, presenting a challenge and burden to individuals and healthcare systems. The number of hip fractures globally is rising. The majority of extracapsular hip fractures are treated surgically.
- Surgical interventions for treating fractures of the olecranon in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Nov-2014
Fractures of the olecranon (the bony tip of the elbow) account for approximately 1% of all upper extremity fractures. Surgical intervention is often required to restore elbow function. Two key methods of surgery are tension band wire fixation and plate fi
- Surgical interventions for treating pectus excavatum
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Oct-2014
Pectus excavatum is characterized by a depression of the anterior chest wall (sternum and lower costal cartilages) and is the most frequently occurring chest wall deformity. The prevalence ranges from 6.28 to 12 cases per 1000 around the world. Generally
- Surgical interventions for treating radial head fractures in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Apr-2013
Radial head fractures are the most common type of elbow fracture and can severely affect the function of the elbow. There is uncertainty and controversy about when surgery is indicated as well as what type of surgical intervention is best.
- Surgical management for upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Feb-2011
Upper tract transitional cell carcinomas (TCC) are uncommon and aggressive tumours. There are a number of surgical approaches to manage this condition including open radical nephroureterectomy and laparoscopic procedures.
