SS Innovations International (NASDAQ: SSII), a developer of surgical robotic technologies, announced that its SSi Mantra surgical robotic system and SSi MantrAsana tele-surgeon console were used in successful telesurgeries during two international medical conferences in October 2026. The demonstrations underscore the growing feasibility of remote robotic surgery and its potential to bridge gaps in surgical expertise across geographies.
At the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS) Annual Meeting in Barcelona, Spain, Chairman and CEO Dr. Sudhir Srivastava performed a robotic-assisted cardiac procedure remotely on a patient in Bengaluru, India, approximately 7,500 miles away. The procedure highlighted the SSi MantrAsana console’s ability to enable real-time remote surgery through ultra-low latency connectivity, high-definition visualization, and precise instrument control. This transcontinental demonstration is significant because it shows that complex cardiac interventions can be performed across vast distances, potentially allowing patients in underserved regions to receive care from leading specialists without travel.
At the Society of Robotic Surgery India (SRS India) Conference in New Delhi, four surgeons completed four separate robotic-assisted telesurgeries involving kidney, colorectal, pediatric urological, and gynecological procedures. These diverse cases illustrate the versatility of the SSi Mantra system across multiple surgical specialties, from adult kidney surgery to pediatric urology, suggesting broad applicability in varied clinical settings.
As of October 23, 2026, a total of 205 telesurgeries, including complex cardiac procedures, had been performed using the SSi Mantra system. This cumulative experience demonstrates that telesurgery is moving from experimental trials toward broader clinical adoption. The ability to perform remote surgery could have profound implications for healthcare delivery, particularly in regions with limited access to specialized surgeons. By enabling expert surgeons to operate on patients thousands of miles away, telesurgery may reduce disparities in surgical care and improve outcomes for patients who would otherwise face barriers to timely treatment.
SS Innovations International, headquartered in India and a U.S. company, focuses on making robotic surgery affordable and accessible. The SSi Mantra system has been clinically validated in India in more than 190 different types of surgical procedures, according to the company. The system includes modular robotic arms, an open-faced ergonomic surgeon command center, a large 3D 4K monitor, and the ability to superimpose 3D models of diagnostic imaging. The optional SSi MantrAsana tele-surgeon console is a portable, compact alternative that provides equivalent control functionality while enabling enhanced portability and telesurgery capability.
