Global & Netherlands Laparoscopic Devices Market to 2031

The laparoscopic devices market in the Netherlands benefits from a highly efficient and advanced healthcare system reinforced by a strong focus on evidence-based medical practice. This environment has supported the widespread adoption of minimally invasive surgical methods. In 2022, an impressive 96% of all cholecystectomy procedures in the country were performed laparoscopically, ranking the Netherlands among Europe’s leaders in the use of this approach.

In 2023, Applied Medical Resources emerged as the dominant provider of laparoscopic access instruments such as trocars and retractors, reflecting steady demand for core surgical tools. The Dutch healthcare system's ongoing commitment to innovation and patient-centered care continues to drive growth in this market.

Bariatric surgery in the Netherlands is largely conducted using minimally invasive methods, addressing the country's growing obesity challenges. According to the IFSO Global Registry Report published in April 2024, 12,327 primary and 1,052 revisional bariatric surgeries were performed, indicating a significant number of laparoscopic interventions, with sleeve gastrectomy being the most frequently used technique.

General surgery in the Netherlands has also shifted extensively toward laparoscopic procedures. Minimally invasive surgery is now standard practice for common operations such as appendectomies, hernia repairs, and gallbladder removals. In colorectal surgery, the Netherlands has embraced robotic and laparoscopic methods, as highlighted by a February 2025 study on the increased use of robot-assisted colon cancer surgery, confirming that minimally invasive techniques are now the norm for these interventions.
