This study details the first use of the Hugo™ Robotic-Assisted Surgery (RAS) system for total pelvic exenteration (TPE) in advanced rectal cancer. The procedure demonstrated technical feasibility and safety, with no recurrence observed at nine months.
Area of Science:
- Surgical Oncology
- Robotic Surgery
- Gastrointestinal Oncology
Background:
- Total pelvic exenteration (TPE) is a complex surgical procedure for advanced pelvic malignancies.
- The Hugo™ Robotic-Assisted Surgery (RAS) system is a new platform with limited reported applications.
- Robotic assistance in TPE for rectal cancer invading adjacent organs has not been previously documented.
