SS Innovations International, Inc. (NASDAQ: SSII) announced the successful completion of what it said is the world's longest-distance robotic telesurgery, with a robot-assisted cardiac procedure performed across approximately 12,500 miles (20,000 kilometers) of fiber network distance between Guyana and India using the company's SSi Mantra surgical robotic system. The procedure was conducted remotely by CEO and cardiac surgeon Dr. Sudhir Srivastava from Guyana, while the patient-side robotic system operated in India, functioning with network latency of approximately 290-300 milliseconds.
The company said the achievement surpasses its previous telesurgery distance record of approximately 6,250 miles and further demonstrates the capabilities of the SSi Mantra platform in long-distance surgical applications. The milestone coincided with the launch of Guyana's National Robotic Surgery Program and follows regulatory approval for the SSi Mantra in Guyana. SS Innovations noted that 173 telesurgeries have now been performed using the platform globally, including 22 cardiac telesurgeries, which it said makes SSi Mantra the only surgical robotic system currently used for robotic cardiac telesurgery.
This achievement underscores the potential for remote robotic surgery to bridge healthcare gaps in underserved regions. By enabling a surgeon in Guyana to operate on a patient in India, SS Innovations has shown that distance need not be a barrier to accessing specialized surgical care. The low latency of approximately 290-300 milliseconds is critical for such procedures, ensuring near-real-time control of the robotic instruments.
