The laparoscopic devices market in Kuwait is experiencing notable growth, propelled by the expanding use of minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) across multiple medical fields. This transition is largely driven by the advantages laparoscopic procedures offer, including less patient trauma, quicker recovery, reduced hospital stays, and fewer postoperative complications. Similar to many other nations, Kuwait is increasingly adopting these minimally invasive techniques, which is a key factor boosting the demand for laparoscopic equipment. The market benefits from ongoing advancements in laparoscopic technology. For example, the Sabah Al-Ahmad Urology Center introduced the Da Vinci Surgical System in 2013 and performed over 1,600 complex robotic surgeries by 2022. The growing prevalence of chronic conditions such as obesity and related disorders is further increasing the need for surgical treatments, many of which are now carried out laparoscopically. Bariatric surgery, especially laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, is particularly common in Kuwait. According to the 3rd National Bariatric Registry Report by the Kuwait Ministry of Health, covering 6,484 bariatric procedures, 94.3% of initial surgeries were sleeve gastrectomies, with nearly all performed laparoscopically and only a handful requiring conversion to open surgery. Overall, Kuwait’s laparoscopic devices market is driven by a strong focus on minimally invasive procedures, substantial investments in cutting-edge technologies—especially robotic systems—and a commitment to enhancing patient outcomes and speeding recovery.
