The forecast for open prostatectomies performed in Canada shows a gradual decline in the number of cases per hundred thousand men from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the value stood slightly higher, indicating a continuous downward trend over the years. The year-on-year variation from 2024 to 2025 is approximately -0.72%, and a similar trend is observed each subsequent year. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a steady decline in the procedure’s prevalence.
Future trends to watch include advancements in less invasive prostate surgery technologies, which might further reduce the necessity for open prostatectomies. Additionally, improvements in early diagnosis and alternative treatments could continue to impact the demand for this surgical procedure. Monitoring healthcare policies and hospital capacity for such surgeries will also be crucial in understanding future trends.
