Key information

About this study

This study will enroll up to 70 subjects and conducted using up to five investigational sites in the United States (US).

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Adult patients (age ≥ 22 years) as required by local law
  • Patients indicated for a hysterectomy (radical, modified radical, or total hysterectomy) inclusive of subjects being treated for malignancies with the Hugo™ RAS system
  • Patient is an acceptable candidate for a fully robotic-assisted surgical procedure, a laparoscopic surgical procedure, and an open surgical procedure
  • The patient is willing to participate and consents to participate, as documented by a signed and dated informed consent form

Exclusion criteria

  • Patient for whom minimally invasive surgery is contraindicated as determined by the Investigator.
  • Patients with comorbidities or medical characteristics which would preclude the surgical procedure in the opinion of the Investigator.
  • Patients with an estimated life expectancy of less than 6 months as determined by Investigator
  • Patients diagnosed with a bleeding disorder and/or who cannot be removed from their anticoagulants prior to surgery based on surgeon discretion and standard-of-care
  • Patients who are pregnant at the time of the surgical procedure.
  • Patients who are considered to be part of a vulnerable population (e.g., prisoners or those without sufficient mental capacity).
  • Patients who have participated or are currently participating in an investigational drug or in a device research study that may interfere with this study in the opinion of the Investigator.
  • Patients with active infections including but not limited to pneumonia, urinary tract, cellulitis, or bacteremia at physicians' discretion.
  • Patients with a pre-surgical diagnosis of recurring cancer and gross metastatic conditions are excluded.

I. For cervical cancer, only patients with Stages 1a1, 1a2, 1b1, may be included, and within these stages, II. Eligibility is further restricted to those with Stage IB1 tumors less than 2 cm (on MRI) and less than 10 mm stromal invasion on excisional biopsy, or less than 50% cervical stromal invasion (on MRI).

III. All other cervical cancer stages are excluded from the study.

  • Patients with disease spread out of the pelvis requiring surgical intervention with surgical expertise outside of the gynecological space, with the exception of para-aortic lymph node dissection, as determined by the investigator.
  • Patients who have a body mass index (BMI) > 44.1 kg/m2

Treatment and study plan

Robotic Assisted-Surgery (RAS) Hysterectomy

Device

Patients indicated for Robotic Assisted-Surgery (RAS) hysterectomy procedures will have the RAS surgery using the Medtronic Hugo™ RAS system.

Primary outcomes

  1. Surgical success rate

    Time frame: Intraoperative

    Surgical success rate is the procedure utilizing Hugo™ as outlined in the preoperatively defined surgical plan without conversion to an alternative robotic-assisted system, laparoscopy, or open surgery.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Operative time

    Time frame: Intraoperative

    Time from skin incision to skin closure

  2. Hospital length of stay

    Time frame: From procedure to discharge, through approximately 30 days

    Hospital length of stay from the date of the procedure to discharge

  3. Major complication rate

    Time frame: 30 Days

    Overall rate of subjects with one or more complication (Clavien-Dindo Grade III or higher) related to study device and/or procedure, from the first incision through 30 days post-procedure.

  4. Complication rate

    Time frame: 30 Days

    Overall rate of subjects with one or more complications (Clavien-Dindo Grade I or higher) related to study device and/or procedure, from the first incision through 30 days post-procedure.

  5. Rate of intraoperative adverse events

    Time frame: Intraoperative

    Rate of intraoperative adverse events related to study device and/or procedure from first incision through skin closure.

  6. Rate of readmission

    Time frame: 30 Days

    Rate of readmission within 30 days due to device and/or procedure related adverse events.

  7. Rate of therapy-specific adverse events

    Time frame: 3 Months

    Rate of complications due to the study device and/or procedure.
