In 2023, Germany led European open prostatectomy procedures with 27.85 thousand, despite a slight decline of -1.28% from the previous year. Italy (22.51 thousand) and France (20.12 thousand) followed, with France experiencing a significant drop of -5.0%. Spain and the United Kingdom saw positive growths at 1.86% and 2.58%, respectively. Poland, Netherlands, Switzerland, and Sweden also showed modest increases. Conversely, Hungary (-5.62%), Romania (-5.4%), and the Czech Republic (-5.58%) faced notable decreases. Croatia (6.87%) and Luxembourg (6.39%) were the outliers with the highest growth rates.
Looking forward, regional healthcare policies and advancements in minimally invasive techniques are expected to impact open prostatectomy rates. Countries like Germany and Italy may invest more in alternative treatments, potentially reducing their rates. Meanwhile, Eastern European countries may see gradual increases as healthcare access improves. Watch for advancements in robotic surgeries and early detection methods, which could further decrease open prostatectomy frequencies across Europe.
