Global & Czech Republic Laparoscopic Devices Market to 2031

The laparoscopic devices market in the Czech Republic is experiencing growing demand, fueled by the advantages of minimally invasive surgery, such as reduced pain and faster recovery for patients. The healthcare system is increasingly adopting laparoscopic, arthroscopic, and robotic-assisted techniques across multiple specialties, including general surgery and gynecology. This trend aligns with broader European movements toward integrating advanced technologies in surgical practice, enabling more patients to benefit from less invasive procedures. According to 2023 data from the Czech Statistical Office (CZSO), the country has a strong healthcare infrastructure with 160 acute care hospitals and 49,218 beds. The rising preference for minimally invasive methods is reflected in surgical volumes, with 25,478 independent surgeries performed by physicians in 2023, including 5,473 by adult general practitioners and 1,657 by gynecologists, highlighting the growing role of laparoscopic procedures in routine care.

In bariatric surgery, the Czech Republic hosts several leading centers specializing in the surgical treatment of obesity. The Institute for Clinical and Experimental Medicine (IKEM) has completed over 2,000 bariatric surgeries in the past 16 years, with sleeve gastrectomy being the predominant procedure due to its effectiveness, resulting in an average weight loss of 30–50 kg within a year. This highlights the significant scale of bariatric laparoscopic interventions performed annually.

Laparoscopic techniques are also well-established in colorectal surgery, particularly for cancer patients. St. Zdislava Hospital, a key robotic surgery center, has performed more than 4,000 robotic procedures, including numerous complex colorectal operations such as total robotic mesorectumectomy and rectal resections. This reflects a strong movement toward minimally invasive and robotic-assisted methods for intricate colorectal conditions. Research published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine reported that minimally invasive surgeries for rectal cancer increased from 24% during 2018–2019 to 32% between 2020 and 2021 in the Czech Republic, demonstrating a clear adoption trend. Colon cancer surgery success rates remain high, ranging from 85% to 95%, reinforcing trust in these advanced surgical approaches.

In gynecology, specialized institutions perform a significant volume of surgeries, with a growing shift toward minimally invasive techniques, including cancer-related procedures. The Czech Republic is home to ESGO-accredited centers, such as the Masaryk Memorial Cancer Institute in Brno, accredited in 2024, which underlines the high standards and widespread use of specialized laparoscopic gynecological surgeries in the country.
