SS Innovations International, Inc. (Nasdaq: SSII) announced the successful completion of a long-distance cross-border telesurgery spanning more than 4,500 miles, from a surgeon in Perth, Australia, to a patient in Indore, India. The procedure, a robotic gastrojejunostomy, was performed on May 2, 2026, by Dr. Mohit Bhandari, President of IRCAD India, during the Royal Australian College of Surgeons Annual Scientific Congress. The telesurgery utilized the SSi Mantra surgical robotic system and the SSi MantrAsana tele-surgeon console, a compact, chair-based version of the standard surgeon command center designed for portability and remote procedures.
The SSi MantrAsana console 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 system. Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, Chairman and CEO of SS Innovations, commented, 'We believe that telesurgery has the power to transform traditional healthcare delivery and democratize access to global surgical expertise. We are proud to be pioneering this revolutionary technology.'
This demonstration underscores the potential of telesurgery to bridge geographic gaps, allowing expert surgeons to operate on patients thousands of miles away. The implications for global healthcare are significant, particularly for underserved regions where specialized surgical care is scarce. The SSi Mantra system is a user-friendly, modular, multi-arm system with features including 3 to 5 modular robotic arms, an open-faced ergonomic surgeon command center, a large 3D 4K monitor, and the ability for superimposition of 3D models of diagnostic imaging. The optional SSi MantrAsana console provides equivalent control functionality with enhanced portability and ergonomic flexibility. The system has been clinically validated in India in more than 100 different types of surgical procedures.
SS Innovations plans to expand the global presence of its technologically advanced, user-friendly, and cost-effective surgical robotic solutions. The company's product range includes the SSi Mantra system and its comprehensive suite of SSi Mudra surgical instruments, which support a variety of procedures including cardiac surgery.
