CAVA Robotics opens Berlin office to advance position as leader in 'robotic surgery'
Ann K. • Sep 12, 2021
CAVA Robotics International recently announced it is opening a new European headquarters in Berlin
CAVA is a leader in robotic surgery programs throughout the U.S. and Europe and the move in headquarters is a part of the company introducing certain robotic program improvements for customers in Germany and throughout Europe.
"CAVA's new Berlin office will help advance our firm's position as the leader in robotic surgery program optimization for hospitals in the U.S. and now Europe," Josh Feldstein, CAVA president and CEO, said in the release.
Feldstein also said Berlin is an ideal home for the new headquarters as "it boasts strong healthcare quality and innovation, as well as an infrastructure of top-tier technical and clinical talent."
CAVA's team includes surgeons, surgical technicians, health economists, and data scientists.
"CAVA has an excellent opportunity to impact the global robotic surgery landscape," York Zoellner, Ph.D., CAVA's European market advisor who also serves as a professor in Health Economics at Hamburg University of Applied Sciences. "Many hospital administrators and surgeons have expressed excitement that CAVA is coming to Germany and Europe."

To establish the economic value of simple robotic hysterectomy vs laparoscopic hysterectomy and assess the impact of surgeon’s experience. Retrospective cohort study. University-affliated US regional healthcare system. Reproductive and post-menopausal women undergoing hysterectomy for benign indications. Robotic or laparoscopic hysterectomy. Between January 2018 and December 2019, a total of 985 simple laparoscopic and robotic hysterectomies were performed by 47 different gynecologists. Overall, the mean payment, direct cost, and profit were comparable (p value>0.05) among simple robotic and laparoscopic hysterectomy. However, the mean operative time was significantly shorter for robotic hysterectomy compared to laparoscopic hysterectomy (106 min vs 127 min, respectively, p<0.05). Operative time decreased as a surgeon’s annual robotic case volume increased. Per-minute profitability of robotic hysterectomy increased significantly when a sur geon performed greater than 45 cases annually (p=0.04). This effect became most pronounced when a surgeon performed 60 or more cases per year (p=0.01). Simple robotic hysterectomy has shorter operative time compared to laparoscopic hysterectomy, with direct costs being similar. Robotic hysterectomy has higher per-minute profit compared to laparoscopic hysterectomy when a surgeon performs>45 cases per year.... Read more
Beginning in Q3-4 2021, CAVA Robotics’ online and live Learning Management System modules for surgeons and OR crew will offer Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits to MDs and RNs in the US and Europe accredited through a leading US Medical School and EU-based accreditors. Please ask CAVA for more information.

Senhance surgical system in benign hysterectomy: A real‐world comparative assessment of case times and instrument costs versus da Vinci robotics and laparoscopic‐assisted vaginal hysterectomy procedures
Beginning in late 2021, CAVA Robotics will initiate its new Facility Best Practice Certification Program.
CAVA CEO Josh Feldstein and Medical Director Herb Coussons, MD, have co-authored a chapter on robotic program Best Practices, featured in the new medical textbook for robotic surgery residents worldwide entitled, Robotic Surgery, second edition, a complete multispeciality robotic surgery sourcebook, (Ed: Spinoglio, Giuseppe, et al; Springer 2021).
