Robot-assisted Radical Prostatectomy with the Novel Hugo Robotic System: Initial Experience and Optimal Surgical Set-up at a Tertiary Referral Robotic Center

Review Urology & Nephrology

Potential Contenders for the Leadership in Robotic Surgery

Rui Farinha et al.

Summary: The Da Vinci surgical system has been a leader in robotic surgery market since 1995, but new platforms like Revo-I, Versius, and Senhance have recently emerged. Among these, the Senhance robot has shown the most significant scientific evidence for minimally invasive urological surgery, potentially becoming a competitor to the Da Vinci system. The development of unique features in these new robotic platforms may offer cost advantages compared to the Da Vinci system, with the Senhance robot being in a more advanced stage of clinical studies validation.

Objective assessment of intraoperative skills for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP): results from the ERUS Scientific and Educational Working Groups Metrics Initiative

Alexandre Mottrie et al.

Summary: The international Delphi panel achieved high-level consensus on metrics that distinguished objectively between experienced and novice urologists in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Reliable and valid performance metrics for RARP are crucial for effective and quality-assured surgical training.
