Utility guideline and considerations for the novel Hugo™ RAS (robotic-assisted surgery) system in colorectal surgery: surgical outcomes and initial experience in a tertiary center.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

A novel robotic platform-Hugo™ RAS (robotic-assisted surgery) system-has been introduced with several innovations that may prove advantageous for surgeons, such as an open console and four interchangeable modular arms. Our study aims to evaluate this platform's safety, efficacy, and potential impact on the surgical treatment of colorectal pathology.

Methods

Patients underwent robotic-assisted colorectal procedures with the Hugo™ RAS system at the General University Hospital of Elche from October 2023 to July 2024. Patient characteristics, intraoperative and postoperative variables, and robotic technical issues were recorded.

Results

Forty consecutive patients were included (14 right, 13 left, and 8 rectum neoplasms; 4 left diverticulitis; and 1 ileocecal Crohn
