Hugo Robot made its debut at the beginning of November 2022 at San Pier Damiano Hospital (a branch of Maria Cecilia Hospital).
Using Hugo Robot brings significant benefits to patients. Compared to traditional open surgery, the robotic technique allows getting:
less surgical trauma due to the absence of extensive incisions;
better restoration of functionality (abstinence, erection);
faster postoperative course and shorter hospital stays. The patient can return to daily life already on the first day after the operation, and in some cases can be discharged two to three days after the operation.
Operation options with Hugo include radical prostatectomy, radical cystectomy, and nephrectomy.
