In 2023, the number of laparoscopic hysterectomy procedures performed in the UK was 14.56 thousand. The forecast indicates a slight downward trend, with an annual decrease of 1.5% in 2024, continuing with a gradual year-on-year reduction. By 2028, the expected number of procedures is projected to fall to 13.57 thousand, reflecting a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately -1.8% from 2023 to 2028.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Advancements in minimally invasive surgical techniques which may further reduce the number of procedures.
- Potential shifts in healthcare policies that could impact procedure rates.
- New medical guidelines influencing the choice of surgical methods.
- Demographic and lifestyle changes potentially affecting overall demand for hysterectomies.
