This statistic displays the operating room procedures with greatest average annual decrease in the U.S. from 2003 to 2012. During this time, laparoscopies decreased by an average annual percent change of 5.5 percent. Approximately two-thirds of hospitalizations include some form of procedure, although many, like blood transfusions or vaccinations, can be done outside of operating rooms. Costs for hospitalizations with operating room procedures are often much more costly than those without.
