Introduction and Hypothesis: Robotic sacropexy (RSC) emerged in the last years as a valid alternative to laparoscopic technique. However, robotic approach is still limited by platform availability concerns about cost-effectiveness. Recently, new platforms joined market, lowering costs offering possibility expand approach. The aim of our study was demonstrate technical feasibility safety procedure with this along description surgical setting. Materials Methods: We reported data on first five consecutive patients who underwent RSC at Onze Lieve Vrouw Hospital (Aalst, Belgium), performed novel HUGO™ Robot-Assisted Surgery (RAS) System. consists four fully independent carts, an open console, system tower equipped for both surgery. collected patients' characteristics, intraoperative data, complications, clashes instruments. Results: All procedures were completed according same setting No need conversion open/laparoscopic surgery and/or additional port placement required. instrument clashes, or failure that compromised surgery's completion recorded. Median interquartile range docking, operative, console time 8 (6-9), 130 (115-165), 80 (80-115) minutes, respectively. Conclusion: This series represents worldwide report robot-assisted executed HUGO RAS Awaiting future investigation, preliminary experience provides relevant terms operative room settings perioperative outcomes might be helpful adopters platform.
