Pilot Study of a New Modular and Open Robotic Platform Hugo RAS for Colorectal Surgery

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating a new robotic platform called Hugo Robotic Assisted Surgery RAS for use in colorectal surgery. This study aims to assess the safety, effectiveness, and overall impact of this innovative system, which features an open console and four interchangeable modular arms, in treating colorectal conditions. The study is conducted at a referral center experienced in laparoscopic colorectal surgery but new to robotic techniques. Patients will undergo planned colonic or colorectal resections using the Hugo RAS robotic platform. The surgical procedures include abdominal colorectal surgeries such as colon and rectal cancer, diverticulosis, intestinal resection, and minimally invasive transanal surgery TAMIS following enhanced recovery protocols ERAS. The study includes a one-year follow-up period to monitor outcomes. Participants will have their demographic, clinical, surgical, and perioperative data collected and stored anonymously in a secure database. Researchers will track intraoperative details, postoperative complications, hospital stay length, tumor staging, and follow-up results at one month. The primary outcome is to evaluate the procedure results against quality indicators recommended by the Spanish Association of Coloproctology. Patient safety, privacy, and well-being are prioritized throughout the study, which complies with ethical and data protection regulations.
