The Hospital Universitario de la Ribera, located in Alzira, has reached the milestone of 510 operations performed with the Hugo RAS robotic system, consolidating its technological innovation program.

Since the implementation of this equipment, the center has integrated the use of robotics into various medical specialties. The main objective of this investment has been to improve the precision of surgical procedures and reduce complications for patients, facilitating a faster recovery after surgery.
By specialty, Urology leads the activity with 287 interventions, followed by Coloproctology with 83, and Esophageal-Gastric Surgery and Gynecology, with 70 procedures each. The robot is used in both high-complexity cases and simpler operations, including oncological interventions and digestive pathologies.
The Hugo RAS system stands out for incorporating four autonomous robotic arms and high-definition three-dimensional vision. According to the center's management, the success of this program depends not only on the technology but also on the continuous training and adaptation efforts of the multidisciplinary teams, which include surgeons, anesthesiologists, and nursing staff.
