Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Robotic approach has shown its feasibility and safety with respect to open approach for radical cystectomy (1). The performances of HugoTM RAS system (Medtronic, Minneapolis, USA) have been demonstrated in several clinical scenarios (2-5). We report the feasibility and surgical settings of the first series of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal ileal-conduit performed with HugoTM RAS system.
