SS Innovations International, Inc. (Nasdaq: SSII), a developer of surgical robotic technologies, announced today that its SSi Mantra surgical robotic system has been approved for telesurgeries in Indonesia and the Philippines. The company also reported that more than 150 cumulative telesurgeries have been successfully performed using the system, primarily in India, marking a significant step in expanding access to remote surgical care.
The approval follows recent demonstrations of the system's capabilities, including a notable event on February 14, 2026, when 18 inter-hospital telesurgeries were performed between Indore and Bhopal, India, within eight hours. These included 13 gastric bypass procedures by Dr. Mohit Bhandari at Mohak Bariatrics and Robotics in Indore and five complex gynecological surgeries by Dr. Priya Bhave Chittawar at HER Health Hospital in Bhopal. All procedures utilized the SSi MantrAsana Tele Surgeon Console, a compact chair-based version of the surgeon command center designed for portability and telesurgery from various settings.
This achievement follows a robotic telesurgery marathon on December 23, 2025, from SS Innovations' headquarters, where nine surgeons performed 24 telesurgeries within 12 hours on patients across multiple Indian locations. The procedures spanned ten different types, including intricate cardiac surgeries.
Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, Chairman and CEO of SS Innovations, stated, "The SSi Mantra surgical robotic system continues to pioneer telesurgery, not merely in concept but in real-world practice and rapidly growing adoption by leading physicians. We are thrilled to receive approval for telesurgeries utilizing the SSi Mantra in two new markets: Indonesia and the Philippines. We also are pleased to surpass the milestone of more than 150 telesurgeries successfully performed with the SSi Mantra, indicating that we are gaining significant traction in enabling state-of-the-art remote surgical care."
SS Innovations is hosting the Global Multi-Specialty Robotic Surgery Conference 2026 (SMRSC 2026) in New Delhi, India, from April 9-11, 2026. The conference will feature more than 20 live telesurgeries using the SSi Mantra, spanning multiple specialties and led by top experts. Registration details are available at ssinnovations.com/SMRSC_2026/register/.
The SSi Mantra system is a modular, multi-arm robotic platform with features including an open-faced ergonomic surgeon command center, 3D 4K visualization, and over 40 types of robotic instruments supporting various specialties. It has been clinically validated in India for more than 100 different surgical procedures, including cardiac surgery.
