    Area of Science:

    • Minimally Invasive Surgery
    • Surgical Robotics
    • Gynecologic Oncology

    Background:

    • The Hugo™ RAS is a novel robotic surgical platform with limited clinical validation data.
    • Assessing the reliability and safety of new robotic systems is crucial for clinical adoption.
    • No prior studies have comprehensively demonstrated the safety of the Hugo™ RAS platform.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the reliability of the Hugo™ RAS system during total hysterectomy procedures.
    • To assess the safety and complication rates associated with the Hugo™ RAS in gynecologic surgery.
    • To provide initial clinical data on the performance of the Hugo™ RAS robotic platform.

    Main Methods:

    • A prospective study involving 20 consecutive patients undergoing minimally invasive total hysterectomy using the Hugo™ RAS.

  • Data collection included robotic system malfunctions, intraoperative events, and postoperative complications.
  • Patients had procedures for benign uterine diseases or prophylactic surgery.

    • Main Results:

    • One instrument fault (5.0%) occurred, resolved within 4.8 minutes without patient complications.
    • No intraoperative complications were observed in the series.
    • One patient (5.0%) experienced a Clavien-Dindo grade 2 postoperative complication.

    Conclusions:

    • The Hugo™ RAS system exhibited high reliability in this pilot study, comparable to established robotic surgical devices.
    • The platform is a promising option for major surgical procedures, warranting further clinical investigation.
    • Initial findings support the safety and viability of the Hugo™ RAS for gynecologic surgery.
