The number of appendectomies performed on in-patients in Italy is set to decrease consistently from 34.17 thousand procedures in 2024 to 29.08 thousand in 2028. In 2023, the value was approximately 35.5 thousand, indicating a downward trend. The year-on-year variation reflects a consistent decline, averaging around 3-4% annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years also highlights a steady negative trend in the number of procedures, indicative of medical advancements or changes in treatment options impacting procedural frequency.

Future trends to watch for include:

Advancements in non-surgical treatments for appendicitis that may further reduce procedure rates.
Healthcare policy changes that could influence the frequency of hospital admissions for appendectomies.
Potential demographic shifts impacting the incidence of appendicitis in Italy.
