In 2023, the number of transurethral prostatectomies performed as inpatient cases in Canada was a foundation for future projections. From 2024 to 2028, there is a consistent decline forecasted, starting at 54.9 in 2024 and decreasing to 35.2 by 2028. This indicates a year-on-year decrease of approximately 8-12%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 reflects a downward trend of around 10% annually.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Advancements in less invasive technologies, potentially reducing the need for traditional transurethral procedures.
- Increased emphasis on preventative healthcare practices that could affect procedure frequency.
- Demographic shifts and aging population impacts on healthcare needs and procedure volumes.
