In 2023, the actual number of open prostatectomies performed in France was estimated at approximately 20.25 thousand. Forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent decline in procedure numbers: from 19.26 thousand in 2024 to 15.49 thousand in 2028. Year-on-year variations indicate a decreasing trend, with an average reduction rate of around 4.05% annually over the five-year span (CAGR).

Future trends to watch for include:

The increasing adoption of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted procedures, potentially further reducing open prostatectomy numbers.
Developments in preventative healthcare and early diagnosis strategies, which may influence the need for surgical interventions.
Advances in medical therapies that could decrease the reliance on surgical options.
