The 2023 data highlights Switzerland, Finland, and Iceland leading in laparoscopic appendectomy rates, with Switzerland at nearly 157 procedures per 100,000 people, marking modest annual growth. Meanwhile, Liechtenstein showed significant growth of over 15% in 2023. On the opposite spectrum, countries such as Poland, Cyprus, and Romania registered the lowest rates with slight increases year-on-year.
