“Increasing Adoption of Minimally Invasive Surgical (MIS) Procedures”
- A significant and accelerating trend in the global laparoscopes market is the increasing adoption of minimally invasive surgical (MIS) procedures across various specialties. This is driven by the well-established benefits of laparoscopy over traditional open surgery, including reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, smaller scars, lower risk of infections, and faster recovery times for patients
- ·For instance, the rising prevalence of conditions such as colorectal and gastrointestinal cancers is leading to a greater need for effective surgical solutions with minimal trauma. Laparoscopic colectomy and gastrectomy are becoming preferred approaches due to these advantages, leading to increased demand for laparoscopic devices. Similarly, in France, the share of laparoscopic procedures for inguinal hernia repair significantly increased from 29.1% in 2010 to 42.2% in 2020, illustrating this growing preference
- The continuous advancements in laparoscopic technology further fuel this trend. These advancements include enhanced imaging systems with high-definition and 3D visualization, more precise and articulating instruments, and the integration of robotic-assisted systems. These innovations improve surgical outcomes and expand the range of procedures that can be performed laparoscopically
- This increasing preference for MIS is evident across different surgical areas, including general surgery (appendectomy, cholecystectomy, hernia repair), bariatric surgery, gynecology, and urology. The growth in these procedures directly correlates with the rising demand for laparoscopes and related instruments
