New Robotic-Assisted Surgery Device Revolutionizes Gynecological Care at Medway Hospital
Author: Precedence Research
Medway Hospital has launched a revolutionary step in surgery in the world of gynecology, specifically with the introduction of a robotic-assisted surgical device known as Hugo for patients. This cutting-edge technology is used for gynecological procedures but is currently meant to include the bigger picture, that of advances in minimally invasive surgery, which brings better outcomes and shorter recovery periods for the patient.
The Hugo robotic system indeed marks a milestone in medical quality progress by revolutionizing gynecological surgery at Medway Hospital. With increased precision, faster recovery and improved patient outcomes, robotic-assisted surgery is revolutionizing the way of patient care. Innovative technologies are to be incorporated in future surgical procedures by Medway so that patients may benefit from the safest and most effective surgical procedures.
Robotic Surgery History at Medway Hospital
- Started: The robotic-assisted surgical procedure was launched by the hospital for urology patients in 2017 with the opening of da Vinci and has further extended this platform for colorectal procedures.
- Expansion to Gynecology: Medway now includes robotic surgery for gynecology, urology, and colorectal patients through the addition of the Hugo system. As of September 2024, the numbers are 29 colorectal and 32 patients undergoing robotic surgery with Hugo in urology.
Medical Leadership Perspectives
- Dr. Periyasamy Krishnamoorthy, Consultant Gynecologist - The introduction of Hugo is going to be a milestone for us. It ensures that they are really giving patients the latest in medical technology in order to deliver the very highest level of care possible.
- Dr. Krish emphasized that by focusing on better clinical care and safety and efficiency issues, Hugo's introduction is going to set new and completely different benchmarks in women's health care.
- Professor Matin Sheriff, Consultant Urological Surgeon and Lead Robotic Surgeon "Robotic surgery had come to the Trust, therefore lives being enhanced and saved as a result of it."
- Professor Sheriff further pointed out improvements in patient outcomes due to the co-adaptation of robotic technology with its surgical and operational teams at Medway along with its gradual development of a safe and effective program.
Gynecological Devices Market Size and Forecast 2024 to 2033
The global gynecological devices market size accounted for USD 9.74 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach around USD 22 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 8.50% from 2024 to 2033.
Gynecological Devices Market Key Players

Recent Developments
- In October 2021, Hologic, Inc. signed a legally binding contract to buy surgical equipment maker Bolder Surgical from the United States. Devices for laparoscopic dissection, diving, and vessel sealing, such as Bolder's CoolSeal, the JustRight 5 mm stapler, and the JustRight 3 mm vessel sealer, will be included in the acquisition.
- The first gynecological procedure in Panama was carried out in July 2021 using the Hugo Robotic-Assisted Surgery (RAS) system, which was created by Medtronic Plc.
Key Benefits of Hugo Robotic-Assisted Surgery (RAS):
Precision and Flexibility:
- The surgeons, operating the Hugo system from a console, translate the motion-by-hand instruments to perform a particular surgical task.
- Instruments work as dexterous hands, with greater flexibility, allowing highly precise procedures through small incisions.
- The system provides a 3D and magnified view of the surgical field, increasing accuracy.
Less Invasive Procedure
- Hugo replaced large incision abdominal surgery and completely eliminated open surgery, presenting hysterectomy.
- Less scarring, less pain, and significantly faster recovery times are features of smaller incisions, as compared with any other technique.
Better Outcomes for the Patients
- Reduced Pain: Pain is minimal to patients after surgery.
- Shortened Recovery Time: It means returning to normal activities earlier than expected.
- Lower Risk for Complications: The operating patient is less prone to developing postoperative infections and the need for subsequent surgeries.
- Less Need for Blood Transfusions: Compared to open or laparoscopic surgeries, robotic-assisted procedures have a lower need for blood transfusions.
