The forecasted number of open prostatectomies performed as inpatient cases in Italy remains stable at 99.5 per year from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the actual number of cases was also 99.5, indicating no year-on-year percentage change over these years. This flat trend suggests a consistent demand for open prostatectomies, unaffected by factors that could induce increase or decline.
Future trends to watch for include the potential impact of technological advancements, such as minimally invasive procedures, on the demand for traditional open surgeries. Additionally, demographic shifts and healthcare policy changes in Italy may influence future procedure volumes.
