In 2023, hysterectomies performed in Germany were at approximately 94.68 thousand inpatient cases. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts indicate a steady decline in hysterectomy numbers, with an average annual decrease (CAGR) of about 3.4%. Specifically, the forecast shows year-on-year reductions: 2024 (-3.4%), 2025 (-3.4%), 2026 (-3.5%), 2027 (-3.6%), and by 2028, cases are projected to fall to 79.19 thousand.
Future trends to watch:
- The increasing use of alternative less invasive treatments for gynecological issues could further impact hysterectomy rates.
- Advancements in medical technology and changing healthcare policies might influence the frequency and necessity of these procedures.
- Growing public awareness and education on women's health may lead to a shift in surgical decision-making.
