A comparative analysis of the HUGO TM robot-assisted surgery system and the Da Vinci ® Xi surgical system for robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy for pelvic organ prolapse treatment.

Background: We aimed to compare the outcomes of Robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy (RASC) performed using the novel HUGO ^TM Robot-Assisted Surgery (RAS) System with the Da Vinci ^® Xi surgical system.
Methods: Data from 38 women undergoing RASC for a ≥ 2-grade pelvic organ prolapse were collected (2021-2023).
Results: Overall, 23 (60.5%) and 15 (39.5%) procedures were performed using the DaVinci ^® Xi and the HUGO ^TM 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 HUGO ^TM 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.
Conclusions: This study represents the first worldwide comparison of RASC executed using the HUGO ^TM RAS versus the Da Vinci ^® Xi System. Our data suggest that RASC might be performed with both robotic platforms with similar perioperative outcomes.
