The first European gynaecological procedure with the new surgical robot Hugo™ RAS. A total hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy in a woman affected by BRCA-1 mutation.
Article in Facts, views & vision in ObGyn, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06138197 (Comparative Evaluation of Three Surgical Robotic Platforms for the Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Procedure), which is not on this map. Cited by 29 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Abstract
Background: The benefits of minimally invasive surgery are well known in gynaecology. Robotic-assisted surgery has gained widespread acceptance within the surgical community and seems to be the most rapidly developing sector of minimally invasive surgery. Objectives: This video shows the salient steps of total hysterectomy with new robotic technology, Hugo™ RAS. The objectives were to introduce and demonstrate the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of this new advanced device. Materials and Methods: A sixty-two years-old woman affected by BRCA-1 mutation underwent the first European gynaecological surgical procedure using the new surgical robot Hugo™ RAS in the Division of Gynecologic Oncology, Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCCS, Rome, Italy. Main Outcomes measures: Docking and operative times. Results: The docking time was 6 minutes and the total operative time was 58 minutes. There were no system errors and faults in the robotic arms. The surgeon found no friction or rasping in the arms. The estimated blood loss was 30 mL. No intraoperative complications were recorded. Conclusion: Gynaecological surgery with Hugo™ RAS seems feasible, safe and effective as shown by initial experiences in urological surgery. A larger case series would confirm the current experience and determine whether this technology could offer any additional benefit.
