The Hugo RAS Colorectal Collaborative

The Hugo RAS Colorectal Collaborative (HRCC): An International Study to Advance Minimally Invasive Surgery

The Hugo RAS Colorectal Collaborative (HRCC) is an international, multicenter dataset of patients undergoing colorectal surgery using the Hugo RAS system. The registry aims to analyze short and long-term outcomes to provide real-world evidence on the safety and effectiveness of the system.

This prospective observational study will gather data via standardized electronic Case Report Forms (eCRFs) across multiple international high-volume colorectal surgery centers. The study intends to foster the standardization of surgical techniques, evaluate the learning curve of surgeons, and identify surgical best practices for the Hugo RAS modular system. The total expected duration for the initial phase is approximately 3 years, followed by extended long-term follow-up.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adult patients (age ≥ 18 years)
• Scheduled to undergo any type of colorectal surgery (elective or emergent) where the Hugo RAS system is planned to be used
• Willing and able to provide written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

-Patients unable to provide informed consent
