In Italy, the forecast for laparoscopic hysterectomy procedures performed on day patients per hundred persons shows a decrease from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the rate stood at an estimated level, which slightly declined by 2024. From 2024 to 2025, the procedure rate remains flat, but a significant drop is seen starting in 2026, continuing stable at this lower level through 2028. This indicates a concerning downward trend after the next year.
Future trends to watch for:
- Improved surgical techniques or alternatives that could impact the preference for day procedures.
- Healthcare policy changes affecting resource allocation for surgeries.
- Potential increase in healthcare access affecting overall procedural volumes.
