Robotic-assisted Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with the novel platform Hugo^TM RAS: preliminary experience in 15 patients.

ABSTRACT: Robotic assisted surgery is a rapidly developing field in bariatric surgery. Its wide diffusion has led to the development and standardisation of robotic assisted approaches for various bariatric operations. However, further application has been limited thus far due to issues of cost-effectiveness and accessibility. The introduction of new robotic platforms may help overcome those obstacles. In this study, we present the first fifteen cases of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) operations performed with the new Hugo™ RAS system (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA). From January to March 2023, consecutive patients scheduled for minimal invasive Roux-en-Y-Bypass were randomly selected and underwent the procedure robotic-assisted with the new platform. No exclusion criteria were applied. Seven fema
