Hugo™ RAS system
Set your vision for growth
There’s a new status quo in surgical robotics. The arrival of the Hugo™ robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) system in the U.S. means you have more choice in how you expand your robotics program.
Integrating a new robotic system into an established program may feel like a big step — but it doesn’t have to be difficult. We’re here to make the transition seamless, with support every step of the way.
Institutions around the world already incorporate multiple robotic systems into their robotic programs, providing more choice and flexibility for surgeons.
Define your objectives
Expanding your program starts with a clear, strategic vision. It’s not just about adding technology — it’s about defining the role additional robots will play in your hospital’s long-term growth. That means identifying what success looks like and mapping out a path to achieve it.
Consider what value expansion will bring to your hospital such as:
Driving improvements in patient outcomes and satisfaction
Reducing the time from consultation to surgery
Streamlining planning and scheduling for better utilization
Attracting top surgical talent
Increasing robot productivity to maximize daily case volume
Expanding types of robotic procedures
Expand OR capacity by unlocking robotics in other sites of care in your network
Clarifying these goals from the start ensures that your investments and initiatives address the right needs and deliver measurable impact.
Bring the right stakeholders to the conversation early
When surgeons, nurses, and support staff are invited to help shape the program, they become champions of its success. Their input creates alignment and strengthens adoption — from the first cases through long-term integration.
We are very fortunate to have gotten two platforms. With the introduction of the Hugo™ RAS system there's a lot of interest in our hospital locally and nationally. In fact, recruitment and retention has become much easier as a result of that.”— Professor Matin Sheriff, Consultant Urological Surgeon and Director of Robotic Surgery, Medway NHS Foundation Trust
Different robotic systems have unique strengths and capabilities. By utilizing multiple platforms, surgeons can select the most appropriate system for each specific procedure, optimizing surgical outcomes.”— Dr. Ben Challacombe, Consultant Urological Surgeon, Guy's and St. Thomas
