Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust has become the first UK trust to pioneer the newest surgical robot, the Hugo robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) system, from Medtronic.
The adoption of Hugo into the largest robotic surgery programme in the UK brings the number of robots at the trust to seven, with the machines operating across six specialties. In March this year, a team from Guy’s and St Thomas’ became the first in the world to use RAS to operate through a patient’s mouth.
