Systematic review demonstrates feasibility and safety of the Hugo robotic platform in upper urinary tract surgery, highlighting adaptable multicart arm setups.

Key Points

Investigate the feasibility, safety, and setup configurations of the Hugo RAS multicart robotic platform in upper urinary tract surgical procedures.
Conducted a systematic review following PRISMA and PICO guidelines across PubMed, Scopus, and Embase up to March 12, 2025 (OSF registration: 10.17605/OSF.IO/T9B4Q).
Included 19 studies covering 226 patients, with 53% (n = 10) representing prospective designs.
Most studies evaluated robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (n = 14), with additional reports evaluating radical nephrectomy, nephroureterectomy, adrenalectomy, and pyeloplasty.
Robotic arm configurations varied across procedures, utilizing three arms in 36.8% of studies and four arms in 52.6%.
Pooled operative outcomes showed a mean operative time of 93 ± 41 minutes, docking time of 7 ± 5.5 minutes, estimated blood loss of 150 ± 86.15 mL, and a mean hospital stay of 3 ± 2 days.
