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 the SSi MantrAsana tele-surgeon console. The procedure, performed on May 2, 2026, involved a surgeon located at the Royal Australian College of Surgeons in Perth, Australia, operating on a patient in Indore, India, more than 4,500 miles away.
Dr. Mohit Bhandari, President of IRCAD India, remotely performed the live telesurgery—a robotic gastrojejunostomy—during the Royal Australian College of Surgeons Annual Scientific Congress. The SSi MantrAsana tele-surgeon console, a compact chair-based version of the larger SSi Mantra surgeon command center, enabled this remote capability. The console is designed for portability and allows procedures from a wide range of locations, including physician offices.
The SSi MantrAsana is engineered for 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 surgical robotic system.
Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, Chairman and CEO of SS Innovations, commented, “We thank the Royal Australian College of Surgeons for this opportunity to demonstrate the advanced telesurgery capabilities of our SSi Mantra surgical robotic system. I’d also like to congratulate Dr. Bhandari and the SS Innovations team for making possible another successful long-distance cross-border telesurgery with the SSi Mantra. 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 highlights the potential of telesurgery to bridge geographical gaps and bring specialized surgical care to underserved regions. The SSi Mantra system is clinically validated in India in more than 100 different types of surgical procedures.
