Investigating the reliability of this tool is the first step toward validating its use in clinical practice; and presently there arelimited data available regarding this. The literature is constantly enriched with initial experiences, however no study has demonstrated the safety of this platform yet.\n\nObjectives: This study aimed to investigate its reliability during total hysterectomy.\n\nMaterials and Methods: A series of 20 consecutive patients scheduled for minimally invasive total hysterectomy with or without salpingo-oophorectomy for benign disease or prophylactic surgery were selected to undergo surgery with Hugo\u2122 RAS. Data regarding any malfunction or breakdown of the robotic system as well as intra- and post-operative complications were prospectively recorded.\n\nResults: Fifteen of the twenty patients (75.0%) underwent surgery for benign uterine diseases, and five (25.0%) underwent prophylactic surgery. Among the entire series, an instrument fault occurred in one case (5.0%). The problem was solved in 4.8 minutes and without complications for the patient. The median total operative time was 127 min (range, 98\u2013255 min). The median estimated blood loss was 50 mL (range:30\u2013125 mL). No intraoperative complications were observed. One patient (5.0%) developed Clavien-Dindo grade 2 post-operative complication.\n\nConclusions: In this pilot study, Hugo\u2122 RAS showed high reliability, similar to other robotic devices.\n\nWhat is new? Present findings suggest that Hugo\u2122 RAS is a viable option for major surgical procedures and deserves further investigation in clinical practice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.52054\/fvvo.15.4.11","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,8]],"date-time":"2024-01-08T11:34:25Z","timestamp":1704713665000},"page":"331-337","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["The new surgical robot Hugo\u2122 RAS for total hysterectomy: a pilot study"],"prefix":"10.52054","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"G","family":"Monterossi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L","family":"Pedone Anchora","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R","family":"Oliva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Fagotti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"F","family":"Fanfani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B","family":"Costantini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Naldini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D","family":"Giannarelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G","family":"Scambia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2811","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"Abdel Raheem A, Troya IS, Kim DK et al.
