The number of laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedures performed on in-patients in France is forecasted to decline steadily from 48.66 thousand in 2024 to 33.7 thousand by 2028. This represents a continuous year-on-year decrease, with notable percentage reductions over each consecutive year. In 2023, the number of procedures stood at a higher level compared to the forecast for 2024. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period (2024-2028) indicates a sustained decrease in the volume of these procedures being performed.

Future trends to watch for:

Technological advancements in non-invasive treatment methods could lead to further reductions in laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedures.
Changes in healthcare policies and preventive care initiatives may impact procedure rates.
Surveys and studies on patient recovery outcomes might influence the adoption of alternative surgical techniques.
