Safety and feasibility of "three arms settings" robot-assisted radical prostatectomy using the Hugo RAS system: surgical set-up in a double-center large case series.

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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeRobot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) is the most common robotic procedures performed in urologic oncology. The Hugo Robot-Assisted Surgery (RAS) System (Medtronic, USA©) has recently been launched on the market and is characterized by the modularity of four different independent arm carts. The aim of this study is to describe and evaluate safety and feasibility of three-arms setting for RARP using the Hugo RAS™ System in a large case series.
methodsBetween October 2022 and December 2023, a large case series of patients from two tertiary referral center who underwent RARP through HUGO™ RAS were prospectively enrolled. Informed written consent was obtained before the procedure and a three-arms setting was used in every case. Follow-up was scheduled according to EAU guidelines.
resultsA total of 86 patients were included in this study and underwent RARP with Hugo™ RAS System. Median Console time time was 114 min (IQR, 75-150), median docking time 4 min (IQR, 3-5). Lymphadenectomy was successfully performed when indicated in 19 patients (22.1%). A vesicourethral anastomosis using the modified Van Velthoven technique was successfully achieved in all cases. No post-operative complications > Clavien II up to 30 post-operative days were reported. In all patients, catheter was removed on the 7th postoperative day.
conclusionWe conducted the first large case series of RARP through the novel Hugo™ RAS System using a three-arms configuration. This innovative robotic platform showed an easily accessible docking system, providing excellent perioperative outcomes.
