SS Innovations International, Inc. (Nasdaq: SSII) announced the successful completion of a long-distance cross-border telesurgery using its SSi Mantra surgical robotic system and SSi MantrAsana tele-surgeon console. The procedure, performed on May 2, 2026, connected a surgeon at the Royal Australian College of Surgeons Annual Scientific Congress in Perth, Australia, to a patient in Indore, India, covering more than 4,500 miles.
Dr. Mohit Bhandari, President of IRCAD India, remotely performed a robotic gastrojejunostomy using the SSi MantrAsana, a compact, chair-based version of the SSi Mantra surgeon command center designed for portability and telesurgery. The system enables real-time remote procedures through ultra-low latency connectivity, high-definition visualization, and precise instrument control. To date, more than 170 telesurgeries, including intricate cardiac procedures, have been performed with the SSi Mantra.
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 achievement underscores the potential of telesurgery to bridge geographic barriers in healthcare, making specialized surgical skills accessible to remote or underserved populations. The SSi Mantra system, with its modular design and advanced features, is clinically validated in India for over 100 different surgical procedures. The SSi MantrAsana tele-surgeon console further enhances flexibility, allowing surgeons to operate from various locations, including physician offices.
