Comparison Between HUGO RAS Robotic Platform and Da Vinci Robotic Platform

Overview

The study is designed as a single-center, prospective, interventional, non-pharmacological, randomized, open-label, controlled trial with parallel groups. It targets patients with prostate cancer or kidney cancer who are candidates for robot-assisted surgical treatment, specifically radical prostatectomy (RP) or partial nephrectomy (PN).

The study is designed as a single-center, prospective, interventional, non-pharmacological, randomized, open-label, controlled trial with parallel groups. It targets patients with prostate cancer or kidney cancer who are candidates for robot-assisted surgical treatment, specifically radical prostatectomy (RP) or partial nephrectomy (PN). The study is divided into a patient enrolment and robot-assisted treatment phase, followed by a phase of oncological and functional follow-up. Once enrolled, patients will be randomized to undergo treatment using either the Da Vinci Xi platform (Intuitive Surgical) or the HUGO™ RAS platform (Medtronic) according to block randomization. Patients with prostate cancer (Group A), enrolled according to inclusion criteria, will be randomized to undergo RP treatment with the Da Vinci Xi platform (control group) or RP treatment with the HUGO™ RAS platform (study group). Patients with kidney cancer (Group B), enrolled according to inclusion criteria, will be randomized to undergo PN treatment with the Da Vinci Xi platform or PN treatment with the HUGO™ RAS platform. If the surgical, oncological, and functional outcomes observed following radical prostatectomy and partial nephrectomy performed with the HUGO RAS platform prove to be equivalent to those obtained with the Da Vinci Xi platform, it should lead to a progressive increase in the use of the HUGO RAS platform, resulting in a reduction in the overall costs associated with robotic urological surgery.
