Brief summary

This study will evaluate the safety and performance of the Medtronic Hugo™ RAS System when used for urologic RAS procedures.

Detailed description

A prospective, multicenter, single-arm pivotal study in subjects undergoing a urologic RAS procedure using the Medtronic Hugo™ RAS System. Subjects without an oncologic indication will be followed for 30 days post-procedure. Oncologic subjects will be followed annually through 5 years. The study will be conducted in up to 6 investigative sites in the United States of America (USA).

Interventions

Primary Effectiveness Endpoint - Surgical Success Rate, Defined as the Procedure Not Going Into Conversion

The primary effectiveness endpoint is the surgical success rate, defined as the procedure not going into conversion. Conversion is defined as the switch from a robotic assisted approach using the Hugo system to a robotic assisted approach utilizing an FDA cleared robotic-assisted device, laparoscopic, or open surgery.

Time frame: During surgical procedure

Population: One subject in the cystectomy cohort who met the criteria to be included in the Full Analysis set (FAS), as they received their first incision with intent of using Hugo, was excluded from the analysis as their procedure was aborted after an hour of exploration due to an advanced disease state. Data from the three RAS Urologic Surgery cohorts: Prostatectomy, Cystectomy, \& Nephrectomy were combined for analysis per pre-specified analysis plan.
