The forecast for open prostatectomy performed on in-patients in France shows a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. The forecasted number of procedures decreases from 19.16 thousand in 2024 to 15.44 thousand in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of about 4.9% between each consecutive year within this period. In 2023, the procedure stood at a higher level before the outlined forecasted decline began.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in less invasive surgical techniques and treatments for prostate conditions, which could further diminish the need for open prostatectomies. Monitoring technological advancements and shifts in medical practices will be crucial for understanding future procedure rates.
