First worldwide surgical procedure of giant inguinoscrotal repair with the new Hugo robotic assisted system: video and docking presentation

Abstract

Giant inguinoscrotal (GIS) hernias are rarely present in clinical settings and its treatment with a minimally invasive approach is often considered a challenge. In recent years, robotic surgical techniques have gained prominence in the medical field, offering advantages over traditional laparoscopic methods. The Hugo robotic system introduces a fresh paradigm by employing independent robotic arms, enhancing manoeuverability in diverse surgical contexts. The aim of this video is to evaluate the efficacy of robotic TAPP (robotic transabdominal preperitoneal) in order to treat a GIS hernia.
