Hugo™ robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) system
You push boundaries. So do we. That’s why the Hugo™ RAS system was built — to overcome barriers and enhance collaboration. To position robotic surgery not as a separate modality — but as surgery itself, breaking through the long-standing barriers that have kept it from moving forward.
Advancing surgery doesn’t come from standing still. It comes from fully understanding your surgical environment as the first company with experience across open, laparoscopic, and robotic procedures. It comes from bold steps, trusted partners, and a shared belief that excellence is always within reach. Let’s build greatness — together.
Our vision is to cultivate a world where robot-assisted surgery is equitable and accessible — everywhere, for every patient, by:
Improving surgeon satisfaction through unlocking OR capacity, robotic access, and a robust digital ecosystem
Giving patients more access and faster scheduling through greater efficiency and consistency
Elevating patient satisfaction by delivering high-quality care closer to home
Expanding patient access to robotic surgery — while giving surgeons and hospitals the tools they need to stay connected and grow — is essential for program success.
The Hugo™ RAS system delivers:
An open console that keeps surgeons connected to the bedside team
Compatibility with a digital ecosystem to provide access to the data and analytics you need
Strong suitability for high growth, core procedures, as well as capabilities for complex cases
The Hugo™ RAS system gives you the flexibility to position its four modular arm carts to meet your needs for each procedure. The arm carts feature an innovative tilt joint that is designed to enable increased range of motion.
Use only the number of carts you need, saving on step-up time and disposables. The open surgeon console and system tower can be configured to fit your OR for maximum efficiency.
A closed console can feel confining. With its open console, the Hugo™ RAS system is designed to provide better situational awareness and support more collaborative training opportunities.
Communication flows naturally, creating a more collaborative environment in the OR. It’s a subtle, but powerful, change in how we work. In addition, the upright posture is ergonomically sound.”— James R. Porter, MD, FRCS, CMO, Robotic Surgical Technologies & Digital Technologies, Medtronic
The Hugo™ RAS system is accompanied by the Touch Surgery™ ecosystem. This AI-powered solution transforms complex data into clear, actionable insights that support continuous improvement — with quick access to your surgical video and performance analytics at your fingertips.
When you integrate the Hugo™ RAS system into your surgical robotics program, you have a proven, passionate team dedicated to your success through white-glove service, dedicated support, comprehensive training, and insightful analytics.
After more than four years in use, the Hugo™ RAS system is now in over 30+ countries and has given thousands of surgeons more choice in their surgical procedures. Working in close collaboration with surgeons and hospitals, Hugo™ RAS has helped provide greater access to robotic surgery for patients around the world.

Every patient everywhere deserves access to the best possible care and improved outcomes. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is central to that quest.
Compared to open procedures, MIS results in:1–3
For decades, Medtronic has partnered with surgeons and societies to advance minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures. Now we are helping drive the growth of robotic-assisted surgery to extend the benefits of minimally invasive surgery and provide access to even more patients.
