Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Apr-2008
Chemotherapeutic agents such as topotecan can be used as salvage treatment in epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC). The effects of using topotecan as a therapeutic agent have not been previously been systematically reviewed.

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Jul-2012
Toremifene (TOR) and tamoxifen (TAM) can both be used as treatments for advanced breast cancer.
- Toric intraocular lens versus limbal relaxing incisions for corneal astigmatism after phacoemulsification
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Dec-2019
Cataract is the leading cause of blindness in the world, and clinically significant astigmatism may affect up to approximately 20% of people undergoing cataract surgery. Pre-existing astigmatism in people undergoing cataract surgery may be treated, among
- Total disc replacement for chronic back pain in the presence of disc degeneration
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Jan-2013
In the search for better surgical treatment of chronic low-back pain (LBP) in the presence of disc degeneration, total disc replacement has received increasing attention in recent years. A possible advantage of total disc replacement compared with fusion
- Total intravenous anaesthesia versus inhalational anaesthesia for adults undergoing transabdominal robotic assisted laparoscopic surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Apr-2017
Rapid implementation of robotic transabdominal surgery has resulted in the need for re-evaluation of the most suitable form of anaesthesia. The overall objective of anaesthesia is to minimize perioperative risk and discomfort for patients both during and
- Total or near‐total thyroidectomy versus subtotal thyroidectomy for multinodular non‐toxic goitre in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Aug-2015
Total thyroidectomy (TT) and subtotal thyroidectomy (ST) are worldwide treatment options for multinodular non-toxic goitre in adults. Near TT, defined as a postoperative thyroid remnant less than 1 mL, is supposed to be a similarly effective but safer opt
- Total serum bile acids or serum bile acid profile, or both, for the diagnosis of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Jul-2019
Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy is a pregnancy-specific liver disorder, possibly associated with an increased risk of severe fetal adverse events. Total serum bile acids (TSBA) concentration, alone or in combination with serum aminotransferases, hav
- Total versus subtotal hysterectomy for benign gynaecological conditions
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Apr-2012
Hysterectomy using an abdominal approach removes either the uterus alone (subtotal hysterectomy) or both the uterus and the cervix (total hysterectomy). The latter is more common but the outcomes have not been systematically compared.
- Totally implantable vascular access devices for cystic fibrosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-May-2012
Totally implantable vascular access devices are widely used in people with cystic fibrosis to provide intermittent venous access for therapeutic infusions. Their use is associated with some complications such as thrombosis, embolism and infection.
- Totally percutaneous versus surgical cut‐down femoral artery access for elective bifurcated abdominal endovascular aneurysm repair
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Jan-2023
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are a vascular condition with significant risk attached, particularly if they rupture. Therefore, it is critical to identify and repair these as an elective procedure before they rupture and require emergency surgery. Rep
- Touch therapies for pain relief in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Nov-2013
Pain is a global public health problem affecting the lives of large numbers of patients and their families. Touch therapies (Healing Touch (HT), Therapeutic Touch (TT) and Reiki) have been found to relieve pain, but some reviews have suggested there is in
- Tourniquet use for knee replacement surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Dec-2020
Many surgeons prefer to perform total knee replacement surgery with the aid of a tourniquet. A tourniquet is an occlusive device that restricts distal blood flow to help create a bloodless field during the procedure. A tourniquet may be associated with in
- TPO receptor agonist for chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-May-2011
Chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an acquired autoimmune disorder that is characterized predominantly by a low platelet count. Thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor agonists increase production of platelets by stimulating the TPO receptor in pe
- Tracheal gas insufflation for the prevention of morbidity and mortality in mechanically ventilated newborn infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Apr-2002
Tracheal gas insufflation (TGI) is a technique where a continuous flow of gas is instilled into the lower trachea during conventional mechanical ventilation. TGI can improve carbon dioxide removal with lower ventilation pressures and smaller tidal volumes
- Tracheal intubation with a flexible intubation scope versus other intubation techniques for obese patients requiring general anaesthesia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Apr-2014
The prevalence of obesity (body mass index (BMI) > 30 kg/m2) is increasing in both developed and developing countries, leading to a rise in the numbers of obese patients requiring general anaesthesia. Obese patients are at increased risk of anaesthetic co
- Tracheal suction at birth in non‐vigorous neonates born through meconium‐stained amniotic fluid
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Jun-2021
Neonates born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) are at risk of developing meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS). Neonates who are non-vigorous due to intrapartum asphyxia are at higher risk of developing MAS. Clearance of meconium from the airwa
- Tracheal suctioning without disconnection in intubated ventilated neonates
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Dec-2011
Assisted mechanical ventilation is a necessity in the neonatal population for a variety of respiratory and surgical conditions. However, there are a number of potential hazards associated with this life saving intervention. New suctioning techniques have
