The launch of new robotic platforms has paved the way for new robotic training systems. The aim of our study is to test the new training system from Hugo™ RAS System – Medtronic. METHODS: From Dec 2022 to Feb 2023 residents (res) attended an advanced integrated robotic simulation training course with Hugo™ RAS System – Medtronic at our institution. Baseline data were collected. Residents were asked to perform three robotic exercises under the mentorship of a robotic tutor. Their performance was evaluated according to an objective Hugo system form (5 parameters were evaluated: timing, range of motion, panoramic view, conflict of instruments and exercise completed) and to a Likert score motivation evaluation. The rate of improvement was assessed from first to last exercise. After training, res received a preformed Likert 10 scale satisfaction questionnaire. Descriptive and variance analysis was performed through SPSS v27. RESULTS: A total of 44 res, 16 female (36.4%) and 28 male (63.6 %), were enrolled. Among these, 12 (27.3%) were general surgery res, 8 were gynaecology res (18.2%), and 24 (54.5%) were urology res. 16 first year (36.4%), 16 second year (36.4%), 2 third year, (4.5%), 4 fourth year (9.1%) and 6 at the last year of residency (13.6%). 18 (40.9%) didn't spend any time, 26 (59.1%) spent less than 3 hours/day and no one spent more than 3 hours playing video games. 68.2% of residents had laparoscopic experience. 90,9% declared to have interest in robotic. Table 1 shows the rate of improvement for all residents, with a statistically significant results (p<0,05). Mean overall satisfaction score±SD was 9.4±1.2. CONCLUSIONS: The highly simulated and adaptable Hugo™ RAS System may be an effective way to improve residents' surgical skills. This protocol training may be standardized in order to have basic certified robotic surgical skills before operating on a real patient.
