Seoul National University Hospital Performs High-Difficult Ovarian Cancer Surgery for the First Time in Korea with Hugo Robots...Discharged after 3 days
Jun 24, 2025
Seoul National University Hospital recently announced that it successfully performed the first high-level ovarian cancer surgery in Korea using the Hugo robotic surgery system. This surgery has enabled accurate staging and optimal treatment plans through Hugo robots, and is attracting attention as an important medical achievement that provided precise and safe surgery.
Ovarian cancer is a disease that has few initial symptoms and is difficult to diagnose, and is often found with cancer already advanced. Surgery is a very important process to accurately check the progress of ovarian cancer and establish a customized treatment policy for patients based on this. After surgery, additional treatment such as chemotherapy and targeted therapy may be required, which depends on the patient's condition.
The surgery included hysterectomy, ovarian or palate resection, grand resection, and pelvic lymph node resection, which allowed the patient to recover quickly and treat efficiently. The patient was discharged healthy 3 days after the operation and showed rapid recovery.
Seoul National University Hospital maximized the accuracy and efficiency of the surgery through the Hugo robotic surgery system. Thanks to the precise movement of the robotic surgical system and the optimized surgical path, it was possible to efficiently perform surgery, especially in intrapelvic surgery. In addition, robotic surgery minimized wound size and pain and enabled rapid recovery.
Professor Imaria (gynecology) said, "Ovarian cancer surgery using a dormant robot is a rare case in the world, and the cases performed including a large-scale resection have not been reported so far, making it even more significant."We hope that this operation will expand the scope of robotic surgery to various gynecological cancer surgeries, providing accurate and safe treatment to more patients."
Seoul National University Hospital is continuously developing a patient-specific treatment and efficient surgical environment by introducing various advanced robotic surgery systems, including Hugo robots. In addition, through the Robot Surgery Training Center, we are educating domestic and foreign practitioners on the latest robot surgery technology and further strengthening our position as a global institution leading research and treatment of robot surgery.
