What is Involved?
If you choose to join this study, the Medtronic Hugo RAS System will be used to assist with your surgical procedure.
You will visit our clinic one time, 30 days after your operation, if your surgery is not related to cancer. If your surgery is related to cancer, you will have follow-up visits to our clinic once every year for 5 years.
