Robot Hugo assists in dozen surgeries at KBC Split hospital

Author: Vojo Micak

ZAGREB, 3 April (Hina) - A dozen surgeries have been successfully performed at the Clinical Hospital Centre (KBC) in the southern coastal city of Split using the robot assistant Hugo, the hospital's director Julije Meštrović said on Wednesday.

The €5.7m Hugo system, developed by the Medtronic company, is a state-of-the-art assisted robotic surgery (RAS) system and the first such system to be used by Croatian hospitals.

The first surgeries using this system were performed on 11 March and have been performed on a regular basis since, Meštrović said.

"Today is a big day not only for the KBC Split but also for the entire Croatian healthcare system," Meštrović said, adding that the Split hospital would serve as a training centre for robotic surgery in this part of the world.
