| Abstrakt: | Background: Hernia repair using robotic platforms has been on the rise in the last decade. The HUGO robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) system, introduced in 2021, is a new addition to the field. In this study, we share our experience with this innovative system for the management of ventral and groin hernias. Patients and Methods: The aim of our study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of using the HUGO robotic platform for hernia surgeries. We conducted a retrospective analysis of all hernia surgeries performed with the HUGO system over a 1-year study period. The study assessed various aspects, including the technical manoeuvres of the robotic system, duration of surgery, length of hospital stay, post-operative pain levels and 30-day morbidity rates. Results and Conclusions: A total of seven hernia surgeries were performed using the HUGO system, including five ventral hernias and two groin hernias. The average duration of surgery was 128 min, with a docking duration of 22.8 min. Notably, there were no intraoperative or post-operative adverse events reported during these procedures. The HUGO system features an open console that provides a panoramic view of the operating room. In addition, the individual arm carts can be easily manoeuvred around the operating table, facilitating improved access to multiple quadrants during surgery. In our case series, Robotic hernia repair using the HUGO system has demonstrated feasibility, with post-operative outcomes comparable to traditional approaches. This innovative system serves as an additional tool in the armamentarium of hernia surgery and shows potential for improving surgical outcomes. However, further investigation through large-scale prospective studies is necessary to comprehensively evaluate its efficacy and benefits.
