Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the safety and effectiveness of the Medtronic Hugo™ RAS System in patients undergoing a prostatectomy or a cholecystectomy. A minimum of 40 subjects will be enrolled at single site in Republic of Korea: 20 for prostatectomy and 20 for cholecystectomy. All participants will be followed for 30 days (±7 days) post-procedure.

Detailed description

This study is a prospective, single-center, single-arm, pivotal trial in 40 patients undergoing prostatectomy (N=20) or cholecystectomy (N=20) using the Medtronic Hugo™ RAS System. The objectives of this study are: * to confirm that the Medtronic Hugo™ RAS System performs as intended when used for prostatectomy or cholecystectomy * to assess the short-term safety outcome of the Medtronic Hugo™ RAS System when used for prostatectomy or cholecystectomy The Medtronic Hugo™ RAS System is intended to be used in this study for prostatectomy and cholecystectomy to be performed in subjects that meet the eligibility criteria. The subjects must be acceptable candidates for a fully robotic assisted procedure with the Medtronic Hugo™ RAS System, as determined by the principal investigator. Adult subjects indicated for a radical prostatectomy for clinically localized prostate cancer, or a cholecystectomy for cholelithiasis, cholecystitis, or gallbladder polyps will be included in this study. The study consists of following study visits: * Baseline: When a subject is consented, the principal investigator will review the subject's medical record and confirms if they meet all specified inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria. * Surgical Procedure: The subject will arrive for admission to the hospital and prepped for surgery. The subject will receive a robotic assisted prostatectomy or cholecystectomy per indication. * Up to Discharge: The subject's condition will be closely monitored until discharge. Vital signs and laboratory test will be conducted. For prostatectomy subjects, pathological exam results will be also collected. * Post-Operative Follow-Up: Prostatectomy subjects will be followed at 7-day, 14-day (±3 days), and 30-day (±7 days) post-operative outpatient visits. Cholecystectomy subjects will be followed at 30-day (±7 days) post-operative outpatient visit.

Interventions

DEVICERAS prostatectomy and RAS cholecystectomy

There are two types of interventions in the study. Patients indicated for Robotic Assisted Surgery (RAS) for a prostatectomy will have the RAS surgery using the Medtronic Hugo RAS system. Patients indicated for Robotic Assisted Surgery (RAS) for a cholecystectomy will have the RAS surgery using the Medtronic Hugo RAS system.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Complication Rate Through 30-day Post-surgery30 daysA proportion of subjects with any post-operative complication within 30-days post-surgery using the investigational device
Major Complication Rate Through 30-day Post-surgery30 daysThis measure reports the proportion of subjects with post-operative complications classified as Grade 3 or higher by the Clavien-Dindo system within 30 days post-surgery. The Clavien-Dindo system classifies post-operative complications from Grade 1 (minor) to Grade 5 (death). Grade 1: Minor deviation, no intervention. Grade 2: Requires medication or transfusion. Grade 3: Requires surgical, endoscopic, or radiological intervention. Grade 4: Life-threatening, requires ICU. Grade 5: Death. Higher grades indicate worse outcomes, with Grade 3 or higher classified as major complications.
Readmission Rate Through 30-day Post-surgery30 daysA proportion of subjects hospitalized within 30 days post-surgery
Reoperation Rate Through 30-day Post-surgery30 daysA proportion of subjects go through reoperation for the same indication within 30 days post-surgery

Recruitment details

The recruitment period was from February 12, 2023, to May 7th, 2023. Subjects were recruited at Seoul National University Hospital, a major hospital in Seoul, Korea. Enrollment involved 42 subjects, with 20 subjects indicated for robotic-assisted Prostatectomy and 22 subjects indicated for robotic-assisted Cholecystectomy.

Pre-assignment details

After enrollment, two Cholecystectomy subjects exited the study before surgery due to a surgeon's decision and a console communication error. These two subjects did not undergo a procedure with the Hugo™ RAS System and were treated with laparoscopy as Standard-of-care treatment.

Outcome results

Primary

Completion Rate

The primary endpoint of this study is the completion rate, which is defined as a proportion of subjects who completed the surgery without conversion due to system serious malfunction, and without any major complications within 24-hour post-surgery.

Time frame: 24 hours

Population: For the analysis, we considered the Full Analysis Set (FAS), defined as all enrolled subjects who began the Hugo™ RAS procedure (first skin incision). Subjects who consented but did not reach the first incision were excluded. Those converted to open or conventional surgery, not due to the Hugo™ RAS System, were included in the safety and descriptive analyses but excluded from the primary endpoint analysis.
