SS Innovations International (NASDAQ: SSII) announced that its subsidiary, the SS International Centre for Robotics Surgery (SSICRS), has graduated the inaugural class of its Cardiac Robotic Surgery Training program. The five-day course brought together 33 participants from seven countries and 16 international faculty members for classroom instruction, live surgical demonstrations and hands-on training using the company’s SSi Mantra surgical robotic system.
The training program underscores SS Innovations' commitment to making robotic surgery more accessible worldwide. According to the company, SSICRS plans to expand its educational offerings through additional condensed training programs covering multiple surgical specialties, including urology, gynecology, thoracic, colorectal, gastrointestinal and general surgery. The training center combines modern lecture facilities, advanced simulation labs, tele-proctoring and online learning modules to support surgeon education and the broader adoption of robotic-assisted surgery.
This development is significant for the medical community as it addresses a critical gap in surgeon training for robotic procedures. Robotic surgery offers benefits such as improved precision, reduced recovery times and lower complication rates, but its adoption has been limited by the availability of trained surgeons. By graduating 33 surgeons from seven countries, SS Innovations is helping to build a global workforce capable of performing these advanced procedures.
The SSi Mantra system, developed by SS Innovations, is designed to be user-friendly and cost-effective, aiming to bring robotic surgery to a broader segment of the global population. The company's product range also includes the SSi Mudra surgical instruments, which support various procedures including cardiac surgery.
