A multi-docking strategy for robotic LAR and deep pelvic surgery with the Hugo RAS system: experience from a tertiary referral center.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In June 2023, our institution adopted the Medtronic Hugo RAS system for colorectal procedures. This system's independent robotic arms enable personalized docking configurations. This study presents our refined multi-docking strategy for robotic low anterior resection (LAR) and deep pelvic procedures, designed to maximize the Hugo RAS system's potential in rectal surgery, and evaluates the associated learning curve.

Methods

This retrospective analysis included 31 robotic LAR procedures performed with the Hugo RAS system using our novel multi-docking strategy. Docking times were the primary outcome. The Mann-Kendall test, Spearman's correlation, and cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis were used to assess the learning curve and efficiency gains associated with the stra
