In 2023, the figure was higher, underscoring a consistent downward trend. Annual percentages highlight a decrease of approximately 0.8% to 0.9% each year. Over the last five years, this trend reflects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around -0.6%. The decline may be affected by improved medical treatment alternatives and reduced necessity for surgical intervention.

Advances in non-surgical treatments and their impact on surgery rates.
Healthcare policy changes affecting surgical guidelines.
Public health initiatives aiming at early diagnosis and treatment to prevent surgical needs.
