Research and Markets: France Surgical Procedure Volumes (SPV) Database 2020 - ResearchAndMarkets.com ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. Surgical procedure volumes in France are seeing a major decline in 2020, due to postponement or cancellation of elective procedures and, to a lesser degree, elimination of procedures that would have been performed on patients who die as a result of contracting COVID-19 disease. This new dataset projects the trends in procedure volumes in France (2017-2025) with the implications of the coronavirus pandemic factored in. From 2019 to 2020, procedure volume is projected to decline heavily, followed by a substantial increase in 2021. The increase in 2021 is expected to result from the backlog of procedures postponed in 2020 which will add to the normal number of procedures estimated for 2021 in the absence of the COVID-19 pandemic.
