Why Surgical Procedure Volume Database Matters? 

The BIS Research Surgical Procedure Volume Database offers a global view of 300+ surgical procedures across 13 specialties, with segmentation by region, country, procedure type (open, laparoscopic, robotic), and care setting. The platform provides: 

• 10 years of historical and forecast data 
• Hospital- and physician-level intelligence from 4,000+ institutions worldwide 
• Granular insights into procedure volumes, enabling precise sales targeting, resource planning, and market entry strategies 

With timely updates and robust methodology validated by industry experts, this database equips stakeholders with the intelligence needed to succeed in evolving healthcare markets 

Evidence of Transformation: Partial Nephrectomy as a Case Study 

Our data reveals a clear shift from open to minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for procedures such as partial nephrectomy, driven by demand for faster recovery and reduced patient trauma. 

• Growth of MIS: MIS procedures surged by 67% between 2010–2015, maintaining strong momentum through 2030, while open procedures show a 21% decline in the same forecast horizon. 
• Robotic Uptake: Robotic-assisted nephrectomy procedures are expected to grow steadily, reaching 1,743 cases by 2030, compared to just 837 in 2010. 
• Per Capita Growth: Partial nephrectomy procedures per 100,000 population rose from 3.74 (2010) to a forecasted 4.41 (2030). 
• Cancer Relevance: Nearly 20% of partial nephrectomies are tied to cancer cases, underlining their critical role in oncology management. 

This case exemplifies how technology adoption, patient demand, and clinical efficiency are reshaping surgical care delivery.

The Role of Surgical Procedure Volume Database in MEA Healthcare 

Healthcare in MEA is evolving rapidly, with hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs), and specialty clinics facing new demands from aging populations, chronic disease burdens, and rising expectations for advanced care. Traditional data sources often fail to capture procedure-level insights at a scale. The BIS database fills this gap by tracking real-world surgical volumes, procedure distribution, and adoption of laparoscopic and robotic surgery techniques. 

Our database enables: 

• Accurate market sizing with validated splits by country, specialty, and technology (open, laparoscopic, robotic). 
• Granular end-user insights across hospitals, ASCs, and specialty clinics. 
• Technology adoption tracking for conventional laparoscopy vs. robotic-assisted surgery. 
• Forecasting surgical demand across key MEA growth hubs.

Why MEA Surgical Insights Matter 

Key growth drivers include: 

• Preference Shift to MIS: Faster recovery and lower trauma make MIS the new standard of care. 
• Chronic Disease Burden: Cancer, obesity, and cardiovascular cases continue to rise. 
• Medical Tourism Growth: Turkey, UAE, and KSA are attracting international patients for bariatric, cosmetic, and gynecological procedures. 
• Healthcare Investments: Governments are funding infrastructure, robotics adoption, and training. 

At the same time, the market faces challenges: high robotic system costs, shortage of skilled surgeons, and inconsistent reimbursement frameworks across countries. 

Regional & Segmentation Insights 

• Turkey – Largest MEA hub, strong in bariatric and cosmetic laparoscopic surgeries. 
• UAE – High healthcare spending, strong robotic surgery adoption. 
• Saudi Arabia – Large domestic population and rising MIS adoption. 
• Israel – Innovation leader in robotic-assisted technologies. 
• Rest of Africa – Slower adoption, but long-term growth potential. 

Procedure segmentation: 

• General Surgery leads, followed by Gynecology and Urology. 
• Bariatric surgery volumes are growing with obesity prevalence. 
• Hospitals remain dominant, while ASCs gain traction in day-care MIS. 

Competitive Landscape 

The MEA market features leading players such as Intuitive Surgical, Olympus, Medtronic, Johnson & Johnson (Ethicon), Stryker, Karl Storz, B. Braun, Boston Scientific, Applied Medical, Asensus Surgical, and Human Xtensions (Israel). 

Recent moves include: 

• Olympus (2021): POWERSEAL bipolar surgical devices. 
• Intuitive Surgical (2021): SureForm stapler approval across gynecology, thoracic, and urology. 
• KARL STORZ (2020): 3D surgical imaging at Arab Health. 
• Stryker (2019): Acquired Israel-based Orthospace Ltd. 

Future Outlook 

Surgical procedure volumes in MEA are forecast to more than double by 2031, led by robotic-assisted growth in urology and gynecology, rising bariatric demand, and continued investments in Turkey, UAE, and Saudi Arabia. Hospitals remain key providers, while ASCs will expand their role in outpatient MIS.
