Hospitals in Sicily and Basilicata are reaching milestones in the implementation of the Hugo RAS robotic surgery system.

In Matera, the Madonna delle Grazie Hospital completed 100 robotic procedures within six months of implementation. The technology is being utilized across General Surgery, Urology, and Gynecology, with medical teams transitioning from laparoscopic methods to robotic surgery. Specialists have noted that the volume and quality of activity in Matera are comparable to highly accredited hospitals in Northern Italy.

Similarly, the Umberto I Hospital in Enna reached the 100-procedure milestone through a program established in collaboration with Kore University. The system is currently used by specialized teams in Gynecology, General Surgery, and Urology to provide high-definition 3D vision and increased precision. Clinical benefits reported include less invasive procedures, reduced complication risks, and shorter hospital stays.
