Robotic surgery has gained worldwide acceptance over the past decade, with several studies showing that this technique is safe and feasible.We describe the first robot-assisted Nissen fundoplication for hiatal hernia performed with the new Hugo™ RAS (Robotic assisted surgery) system (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) in Spain. The innovation of this system is the open surgical console with a 3D-HD display, a system tower and four independent arm carts.The surgical procedures were completed without conversion. No intraoperative complications or technical failures of the system were recorded. The operative time was 97 min, the docking time was 3 min, and the length of hospital stay was three days.This case report shows the safety and feasibility of Nissen fundoplication for hiatal hernia with the Hugo™ RAS system and provides relevant data that may assist early adopters of this surgical platform.
