Abstract Introduction Less than 1 year ago, the new robotic system Hugo RAS (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) was approved for general surgery. It introduced the novelty of utilizing independent robotic arms in a multimodular system, providing versatility for performing increasingly complex surgeries that require different angles. Results A total of 42 inguinal hernia repairs were performed using the HUGO system in 25 patients, including 17 bilateral inguinal hernias and 8 unilateral hernias. The average docking time was 5.4 minutes (range: 4.3–7.8 minutes). The average console time was 67.9 minutes for bilateral repairs and 31.3 minutes for unilateral repairs. The average total procedure time was 113.1 minutes for bilateral repairs and 52.2 minutes for unilateral repairs. Conclusions The HUGO RAS system is safe, reproducible, and suitable for complex hernias. We have introduced an alternative guide setup for this surgery. Our series represents the first patient series in Europe and the second worldwide.
