Official title
The Hugo RAS Colorectal Collaborative (HRCC): An International Study to Advance Minimally Invasive Surgery
Overview
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.
Detailed description
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.
Primary outcome measures
- Complications [Time frame: Intraoperatively]
- Rate of Postoperative Complications [Time frame: Postoperatively (30-day and 90-day)]
- Operative Time [Time frame: Intraoperatively]
- Blood loss [Time frame: Intraoperatively.]
- Conversion Rate [Time frame: Intraoperatively.]
- Length of Hospital Stay [Time frame: At discharge, assessed up to 90 days post-surgery]
- Hospital Readmission Rate [Time frame: Up to 90 days post-surgery]
- Pathological Outcomes: Margin Status and Lymph Node Yield [Time frame: Up to 30 days post-surgery]
- Disease Recurrence Rate [Time frame: Up to 5 years post-surgery]
- Overall and Disease-Free Survival [Time frame: Up to 5 years post-surgery]
