In what feels like a scene straight out of a sci-fi movie, robots are no longer just helping in surgery — they’re setting new records.

Medtronic’s Hugo robot just completed 137 real-world surgeries on prostates, kidneys, and bladders — and the results stunned even the experts.

Hugo didn’t just assist — it outperformed.
Complication rates were astonishingly low: 3.7% for prostate surgeries, 1.9% for kidney operations, and 17.9% for bladder procedures — all crushing long-standing surgical safety standards.

And the real headline?
A jaw-dropping 98.5% success rate, blowing past the original 85% goal. Out of 137 complex surgeries, only two had to be switched back to traditional methods — one due to a minor robot glitch, and the other because of a uniquely tough case.

Hugo’s secret weapon isn’t just robotic precision — it’s consistency. Unlike human hands, robots don’t tire, tremble, or lose focus. And that could change the future of operating rooms forever.

No, surgeons aren’t being replaced tomorrow. But your next surgery might just have a new VIP in the room: a highly trained, incredibly precise robot sidekick that makes every move count.

Medtronic’s success with Hugo is just the beginning. As technology evolves, the once-distant dream of ultra-safe, robot-assisted healthcare is speeding toward reality.

The future of surgery isn’t coming — it’s already here. And it has a name: Hugo.
