Medtronic has launched the Embrace Gynecology US investigational device exemption (IDE) study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of its Hugo robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) system in gynaecological procedures.
The study aims to validate an integrated surgical ecosystem that combines robotics, imaging, instrumentation and workflow optimisation to enhance precision, consistency and efficiency in women’s health interventions.
Robotic-assisted surgery reduces surgical trauma, minimises complications and shortens hospitalisation compared to open techniques.
The Hugo system is designed to deliver a unified platform integrating robotic control, procedural planning and device interoperability, unlike conventional gynaecological surgery, which can be limited by variability in technique and procedural complexity.
The Hugo robotic-assisted surgery system is designed to enhance precision, consistency and efficiency in women’s health interventions.
Author's summary: Medtronic's Hugo robotic system improves gynaecology surgery outcomes.
