Appendicectomy is a well established surgical procedure used in the management of acute appendicitis. The operation can be performed with minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic) or as an open procedure. A recent development in appendicectomy has been t
- Single induction dose of etomidate versus other induction agents for endotracheal intubation in critically ill patients
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Jan-2015
The use of etomidate for emergency airway interventions in critically ill patients is very common. In one large registry trial, etomidate was the most commonly used agent for this indication. Etomidate is known to suppress adrenal gland function, but it r
- Single layer versus double layer suture anastomosis of the gastrointestinal tract
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Nov-2011
Gastrointestinal anastomosis (GIA) is an essential step to maintain the continuity of gastrointestinal tract following intestinal resection. GIA is still a source of significant controversy among surgeons due to the use of variety of approaches. Adequate
- Single or combined immune checkpoint inhibitors compared to first‐line platinum‐based chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab for people with advanced non‐small cell lung cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Apr-2021
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis have changed the first-line treatment of people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Single-agent pembrolizumab (a PD-1 inhibitor) is currently the standard of care as monother
- Single or double-level anterior interbody fusion techniques for cervical degenerative disc disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Feb-2011
The number of surgical techniques for decompression and solid interbody fusion as treatment for cervical spondylosis has increased rapidly, but the rationale for the choice between different techniques remains unclear.
- Single versus combination intravenous anti‐pseudomonal antibiotic therapy for people with cystic fibrosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Jun-2021
The choice of antibiotic, and the use of single or combined therapy are controversial areas in the treatment of respiratory infection due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa in cystic fibrosis (CF). Advantages of combination therapy include wider range of modes of

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Oct-2006
Double volume exchange transfusion is commonly used in newborns with severe jaundice in order to prevent kernicterus and other toxicity related to hyperbilirubinemia. Most commonly, exchange transfusions are used in infants with rhesus hemolytic disease.
- Single versus multiple visits for endodontic treatment of permanent teeth
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Dec-2016
Root canal treatment (RoCT), or endodontic treatment, is a common procedure in dentistry. The main indications for RoCT are irreversible pulpitis and necrosis of the dental pulp caused by carious processes, tooth cracks or chips, or dental trauma. Success
- Single versus two layer suturing for closing the uterine incision at Caesarean section
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-May-2008
A single layer closure might save operating time, disrupt less tissue, introduce less foreign material into the wound, and thus result in less post operative morbidity.
- Single, double or multiple‐injection techniques for non‐ultrasound guided axillary brachial plexus block in adults undergoing surgery of the lower arm
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Sep-2016
Regional anaesthesia comprising axillary block of the brachial plexus is a common anaesthetic technique for distal upper limb surgery. This is an update of a review first published in 2006 and previously updated in 2011 and 2013.
- Single‐dose intravenous diclofenac for acute postoperative pain in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Aug-2018
Postoperative administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) reduces patient opioid requirements and, in turn, reduces the incidence and severity of opioid-induced adverse events (AEs).
- Single‐dose intravenous ibuprofen for acute postoperative pain in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Sep-2021
Postoperative administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) reduces patient opioid requirements and, in turn, may reduce the incidence and severity of opioid-induced adverse events (AEs).
- Single‐dose intravenous ketorolac for acute postoperative pain in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-May-2021
Postoperative pain is common and may be severe. Postoperative administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) reduces patient opioid requirements and, in turn, may reduce the incidence and severity of opioid-induced adverse events (AEs).
- Single‐dose intravesical chemotherapy after nephroureterectomy for upper tract urothelial carcinoma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-May-2019
Single-dose, postoperative intravesical chemotherapy reduces the risk of bladder cancer recurrence after transurethral resection of bladder tumours. However, there is limited evidence whether single-dose intravesical chemotherapy is similarly effective at
- Single‐incision sling operations for urinary incontinence in women
