At the beginning of the week, the Hugo RAS robot, the first of its kind in Croatia, arrived at the Clinic for Surgery of the Split University Hospital Centre. It will soon assist doctors during surgeries and is valued at 5.6 million euros.
The robotic surgery system has been installed, calibrated, and tested, and a simulation training for part of the staff has been conducted. Currently, the medical staff is being trained to work with Hugo, and the first operations are expected in March next year.
The head of the Clinic for Surgery at the Split University Hospital Centre, Zdravko Perko, told Hina that it is a device that allows for minimally invasive surgeries. It’s an advanced technology, which is why the hospital expects better patient treatment outcomes, especially for those with the most severe conditions.”
