The number of open prostatectomies in Italy is expected to decline gradually from 22.36 thousand in 2024 to 21.27 thousand in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 1.3% on average. In 2023, the figure was slightly higher, contributing to this downward trend over the forecast period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecasted five years stands at -1.26%, signaling a steady decline in procedure volume.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in less invasive surgical techniques and increased adoption of robotic-assisted procedures, potentially further reducing the need for traditional open prostatectomies in Italy. Monitoring healthcare policy changes and patient preferences for minimally invasive options will be crucial.
