Background:
Robotic surgery has gained worldwide acceptance over the past decade, with several studies showing that this technique is safe and feasible.
Methods:
We describe the first robot-assisted Nissen fundoplication for hiatal hernia performed with the new Hugo™ RAS (Robotic assisted surgery) system (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) in Spain. The innovation of this system is the open surgical console with a 3D-HD display, a system tower and four independent arm carts.
Results:
The surgical procedures were completed without conversion. No intraoperative complications or technical failures of the system were recorded. The operative time was 97 min, the docking time was 3 min, and the length of hospital stay was three days.
Conclusions:
This case report shows the safety and feasibility of Nissen fundoplication for hiatal hernia with the Hugo™ RAS system and provides relevant data that may assist early adopters of this surgical platform.
