About this study

Official title: Implementation in Colorectal Surgery of a New Modular and Open Robotic Platform.Pilot Project.

A novel robotic platform -Hugo Robotic Assisted Surgery (RAS)- has been introduced with several innovations that may prove advantageous for surgeons such as an open console and four interchangeable modular arms. Our study aims to evaluate the safety, efficacy and potential impact of this platform in the surgical treatment of colorectal pathology.

Read the detailed description

A case series underwent robotic-assisted colorectal procedures with the Hugo™ RAS system in General University Hospital of Elche, a referral center for colorectal surgery with extensive experience in laparoscopic surgery and none in robotics, from October 2023.No specific exclusion criteria were applied for patient selection. 2 surgeons and 1 nurse had previously completed the technical training [9] on the platform. The data were included in a computer database anonymously. For each patient, demographic, clinical and perioperative data, intraoperative robotics platform details, postoperative complications, length of hospital stay, tumor stage (TNM), and follow-up at one month were collected. For statistical analysisSPSS version 29.0 was used . In the descriptive analysis, the appropriate estimators have been used according to the type of variables: means or medians, standard deviation or ranges, for the quantitative variables, and percentages for qualitative variables.

Ethical approval was obtained from the ethical committee of the General University Hospital of Elche (PI 60/2024).

This study will be conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki on ethical principles for medical research on human subjects, which has its origin in the current review (revised version of Fortaleza, 2013) approved by the World Medical Assembly, the Oviedo Convention, and with the requirements current regulators included in the specific Spanish legislation: SAS order 3470/2009).

The rights, safety and well-being of study patients are the most important considerations to take into account and should prevail on the interests of science and society.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evaluate the results of a modular and open robotic platform (System of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) Hugo™) in colorectal surgery (CRC) by complying with the quality indicators recommended by the Spanish Association of Coloproctology (AECP).

    In the descriptive analysis, the appropriate estimators will be used according to the type of variables: means or medians, standard deviation (SD) or ranges, for the quantitative variables, and percentages (%) for qualitative variables. In the analysis bivariate, the Chi-square test will be used for qualitative variables, and for the quantitative variables the Student's t test if the distribution is normal and the Mann-Whitney U when such normality cannot be assumed (the normal distribution of the variables will be analyzed using the test of Kolmogorov-Smirnov).

    In all estimates, 95% confidence intervals will be calculated and a p value less than 0.05 will be considered significant.

    Measured: 1 year
