In 2023, the number of open prostatectomies performed as inpatient cases in Canada was a key baseline for forecasting. The forecasts from 2024 to 2028 show a declining trend in volume, starting at 61.7 in 2024 and decreasing to 55.2 by 2028. This represents a year-on-year average decline of approximately 2.7%. Over the forecasted period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) also reflects a negative growth, indicating a consistent reduction in cases performed annually.
Future trends to watch for include shifts towards minimally invasive procedures, advancements in robotic surgery, and changes in healthcare policies which may further influence the decline in open prostatectomy cases. Monitoring these factors will be essential in adapting to and predicting changing healthcare demands and technologies in Canada.
