Abstract
New research on Robotics is the subject of a report. According to news reporting from Rome, Italy, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “To evaluate the safety and feasibility of the new surgical robot HUGO robotic assisted surgery (RAS) in a series of gynecologic surgical procedures. Between March and October 2022, 138 patients treated at Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A.” The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS, “Gemelli IRCCS, Rome, Italy were enrolled in the study. All patients suitable for a minimally-invasive approach were prospectively included and divided into two groups: Group 1 (78 patients) made up of patients operated on for uterine and/or adnexal pathologies, and Group 2 (60 patients) made up of patients treated for pelvic organ prolapse. In Group 1, median docking time (DT) was 5 min and median console time (CT) was 90 min. In two patients (2.6%) redocking was necessary. In two patients (2.6%), the surgeon continued the surgery laparoscopically. Intraoperative complications occurred in two surgeries (2.6%). In Group 2, median DT was 4 min and median CT was 134.5 min. In three patients (5%), redocking was necessary. In all patients, the surgery was successfully completed robotically without intraoperative complications. The present study demonstrates that the new HUGO RAS system for gynecologic surgery is safe with good results in terms of surgical efficacy and perioperative outcomes.” According to the news reporters, the research concluded: “Further studies are needed to investigate its use in other technical and surgical aspects.”
