Robot-assisted Nissen fundoplication with the new HUGO™ Robotic assisted system: First worldwide report with system description, docking settings and video.

ABSTRACT:

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
