Early clinical evaluation of the Hugo robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) for performing radical prostatectomy: an IDEAL stage 2 study
We demonstrated feasibility and the safe introduction of the Hugo RAS for RARP into an experienced robotic urological programme. Perioperative, early oncological and functional outcomes were similar to other early series. Further studies will aim to describe the learning curve with this robot and optimisation of surgical quality.
