Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy using the novel Hugo™ RAS system: Feasibility, setting and perioperative outcomes of the first off-clamp series.

Introduction: Hugo Robot-Assisted Surgery (RAS) System has been conceived with enhanced modularity but its role for nephron-sparing surgery setting still remains poorly explored. We aimed to describe our experience in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) with a three-arms setting for the first off-clamp series using the new Hugo RAS System.

Methods: Patients were placed on an extended flank position at the margin of the surgical bed with a slightly flexion (45°).

Laparoscopic versus Ultrasound-Guided Transversus Abdominis Plane Block for Postoperative Analgesia Management after Radical Prostatectomy: Results from a Single Center Study.

(1) Background: Regional anesthesia, achieved through nerve blocks, has gained widespread acceptance as an effective pain management approach. This research aimed to evaluate the efficacy of laparoscopic (LAP) transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. (2) Methods: From January 2023 to July 2023, 60 consecutive patients undergoing minimally invasive radical prostatectomy were selected.

Robot-Assisted Renal Surgery with the New Hugo Ras System: Trocar Placement and Docking Settings.

The current literature relating to the novel Hugo RAS System lacks consistent data concerning the bedside features of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). To describe the trocar placement and docking settings for RAPN with a three-arm configuration to streamline the procedure with Hugo RAS, between October 2022 and April 2023, twenty-five consecutive off-clamp RAPNs for renal tumors with the Hugo RAS System were performed. We conceived a trouble-free three-arm setting to ease and standardize RAPN trocar placement and docking settings with Hugo RAS.

State of the Art in Robotic Surgery with Hugo RAS System: Feasibility, Safety and Clinical Applications.

Since its introduction in the early 2000s, robotic surgery has represented a significative innovation within a minimally invasive surgery approach. A variety of robotic platforms have been made available throughout the years, and the outcomes related to those platforms have been described in the literature for many types of surgeries. Medtronic's Hugo RAS system is one of the newest robotic generations launched, but because of its recent placing on the field, comprehensive clinical data are still lacking.
