SS Innovations International, Inc. (Nasdaq: SSII) announced the successful completion of a long-distance cross-border telesurgery utilizing the SSi Mantra surgical robotic system and SSi MantrAsana tele-surgeon console, spanning more than 4,500 miles from the surgeon located at the Royal Australian College of Surgeons in Perth, Australia, to the patient in Indore, India. The landmark procedure, performed on May 2, 2026, by Dr. Mohit Bhandari, President of IRCAD India, was a robotic gastrojejunostomy conducted during the Royal Australian College of Surgeons Annual Scientific Congress.
The SSi MantrAsana tele-surgeon console is a compact, self-contained chair-based version of the larger SSi Mantra surgeon command center, designed for portability and enabling telesurgeries from a wide range of locations. It features ultra-low latency connectivity, high-definition visualization, and precise instrument control, allowing surgeons to perform remote procedures in real-time. To date, more than 170 telesurgeries, including intricate cardiac procedures, have been performed with the SSi Mantra system.
Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, Chairman and CEO of SS Innovations, stated, “We thank the Royal Australian College of Surgeons for this opportunity to demonstrate the advanced telesurgery capabilities of our SSi Mantra surgical robotic system. We believe that telesurgery has the power to transform traditional healthcare delivery and democratize access to global surgical expertise.”
This demonstration underscores the potential of telesurgery to bridge geographical gaps, making specialized surgical care accessible to patients in remote or underserved regions. The SSi Mantra system, with its modular design and advanced features, continues to expand the possibilities of robotic surgery.
