Hugo™ RAS System
Robotics for advanced minimally invasive urologic surgery
We’ve been your surgery partner for decades, bringing you the technology, service, and knowledge you’ve relied on. Now, the Hugo™ RAS system brings those same benefits to your robotic program.
The precision of the Hugo™ RAS system makes it well-suited for delicate and complex urologic surgeries.
Robotic-assisted prostatectomy
The male pelvis is a tightly confined space with critical nerve structures that affect urinary control and erectile function. The dexterity and precision enabled by wristed robotic instruments help surgeons maneuver around these structures to avoid damage, while enhanced 3D vision provides surgeons with a high-resolution view of the surgical field.
Robotic-assisted partial and radical nephrectomy
In partial nephrectomy, preservation of renal function is critical. The high-resolution 3D visualization and instrument dexterity of robotic-assisted surgery support precise dissection.
Robotic-assisted radical cystectomy
Sparing vital nerves and tissues is critical in radical cystectomy. Robotic surgery enables a minimally invasive approach, providing surgeons with the necessary visualization and precision for this complex procedure.
Hugo™ RAS system in urology
The Hugo™ RAS system has been used outside the United States in robotic procedures for more than four years. Several studies have shown comparable perioperative and clinical results to other systems.1–6
The Hugo™ RAS system features a number of advantages for urologic procedures:
One of the main advantages of the system, in my opinion, is that it is a multi-arm system, which is preferable.”— Prof. Riccardo Schiavina, Professor of Urology, University of Bologna
We first saw the console which was so nicely designed, and we were thrilled to work with it.”— Prof. Arnaud Villers, Urologist, University of Lille, Urology Department
Hugo™ RAS system uses an open console that has some advantages. First is the position of the surgeon during the procedure. Another important point is that with an open console, there are advantages for teaching because many surgeons around the screen with 3D glasses can have the same view as the first surgeon.”— Professor Riccardo Schiavina, Professor of Urology, University of Bologna
The difference from the previous systems is that the Hugo™ RAS system is very flexible. The modular system allows you to pick and choose the components you want to use, and that gives a lot of customization to the surgeon according to their patient and the requirements.”— Mr. Faisal Ghumman, Consultant Urological Surgeon and Clinical Director for Surgery, Medway Maritime Trust
The open console of the Hugo™ RAS system allows better communication with the team because everybody can see you, you can see them, you can speak across the OR and see what's going on.”— Prof. Matin Sheriff, MD, Consultant Urological Surgeon and Director of Robotic Surgery, Medway NHS Foundation Trust
One of the greatest advantages is that the Hugo™ RAS system has four separate arms that enter separately, so you can modify the position of the arms according to the patient's needs.”— Dr. Alberto Breda, Head of the Oncological Urology Unit and Kidney Transplantation Surgical Team, Fundació Puigvert
