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.
