Key Points: 
  • Published in the June issue of the Journal of Robotic Surgery, the paper provides peer-review confirmation that best practice, higher-volume robotic surgeons generate high profitability in benign robotic hysterectomy cases vs. identical laparoscopic cases.
  • CAVA Robotics International was engaged by Catholic Health to incorporate 21 dimensions of robotic program best practices into their robotic program.
  • "Despite the rapid incorporation of robotic hysterectomy into clinical practice, prospective head-to-head evidence comparing robotic hysterectomy to traditional laparoscopy has been sparse," said Dr. Herb Coussons, CAVA's medical director.
  • "It is indeed possible for robotic surgery to equal, and even exceed, laparoscopy in a good number of case types, such as benign hysterectomy."
