In the UK, the forecast for open prostatectomies from 2024 to 2028 indicates stability initially, with 700 day cases per hundred men in 2024 and 2025. A subsequent increase to 800 cases is projected from 2026 to 2028. This reflects a 14.3% year-on-year increase starting in 2026. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is modest, suggesting steady adoption or need of this procedure.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts to less invasive treatments, technological advancements in prostate surgery, and demographic changes influencing demand. Monitoring healthcare policies and funding will also be crucial.
