A comparative analysis of the HUGOTM robot‐assisted surgery system and the Da Vinci® Xi surgical system for robot‐assisted sacrocolpopexy for pelvic organ prolapse treatment

We aimed to compare the outcomes of Robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy (RASC) performed using the novel HUGOTM Robot-Assisted Surgery (RAS) System with the Da Vinci® Xi surgical system.Data from 38 women undergoing RASC for a ≥ 2-grade pelvic organ prolapse were collected (2021-2023).Overall, 23 (60.5%) and 15 (39.5%) procedures were performed using the DaVinci® Xi and the HUGOTM RAS system, respectively. The median total operative time was 123 (IQR:106.5-140.5) minutes for the DaVinci® Xi versus 120 (IQR:120-146) minutes for the HUGOTM RAS cases (p = 0.5). No conversion to open/laparoscopic surgery, perioperative complications, or system failures occurred. No differences were recorded according to day of catheter removal and length of stay.This study represents the first worldwide comparison of RASC executed using the HUGOTM RAS versus the Da Vinci® Xi System. Our data suggest that RASC might be performed with both robotic platforms with similar perioperative outcomes.
