In 2023, the number of partial excisions of the mammary gland performed on day patients in Germany was 213 procedures. Forecasted data suggests a consistent decline: from 198 procedures in 2024 to 139 in 2028. This reflects a year-on-year decrease, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast period showing a steady decline. Specifically, a decrease of approximately 8-9% per year is observed from 2024 onwards.
Future trends to watch for:
- Technological advancements in non-invasive procedures could further reduce the need for surgical interventions.
- Enhanced screening and early detection methods may influence these numbers by increasing or decreasing surgical demand.
- Changes in healthcare policy or insurance coverage could affect patient decisions regarding the timing and location of surgeries.
