  "abstract": "Background\n\nNo study has specifically addressed the initial supervised experience of novice surgeons using the Hugo RAS system.Methods\n\nWe retrospectively reviewed patients with prostate cancer receiving robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Console time and blood loss were used as intraoperative variables, while oncological and functional outcomes were evaluated postoperatively.Results\n\nIn the first 15 cases, both console time and blood loss showed a trend towards improvement as the novice surgeon gained experience using the Hugo RAS system for RARP. Regarding oncological and functional outcomes, 80% of patients achieved an undetectable PSA nadir, and 80% recovered urinary continence within 6 months after surgery.Conclusion\n\nHugo RAS-assisted RARP was feasible during this supervised novice-surgeon experience, with early adaptation in console time and blood loss. However, larger prospective studies with standardized outcome measures are needed to validate these findings.",
