Summary
This study reports the first use of the Hugo™ Robotic-Assisted Surgery (RAS) system for robotic left lateral sectionectomy in a cirrhotic patient. The Hugo RAS system demonstrated safe and effective application in minimally invasive liver surgery.
Area of Science:
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
- Hepatobiliary Surgery
- Robotic Surgery
Background:
- Robotic liver resection is primarily performed with the da Vinci system.
- Experience with alternative robotic platforms, like the Hugo™ Robotic-Assisted Surgery (RAS) system, is limited.
- The Hugo RAS system is a novel modular robotic platform with underexplored applications in hepatic resection.
