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 at two international medical conferences in October 2026, according to a company press release distributed via NEWMEDIAWIRE. The demonstrations underscore the growing viability 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. 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. The SSi MantrAsana console is designed to enable real-time remote surgery through ultra-low latency connectivity, high-definition visualization and precise instrument control.
As of Oct. 23, 2026, a total of 205 telesurgeries, including complex cardiac procedures, had been performed using the SSi Mantra system. The milestone suggests that telesurgery is moving from experimental trials toward broader clinical adoption. For patients in underserved or remote regions, the technology could reduce the need to travel long distances for specialized care, while allowing expert surgeons to extend their reach across borders.
SS Innovations, headquartered in India and a U.S. company, aims to make robotic surgery more affordable and accessible to a larger segment of the global population. Its product range includes the SSi Mantra system and the SSi Mudra suite of surgical instruments, which support a variety of robotic procedures including cardiac surgery. The SSi Mantra is a modular, multi-arm system with features such as 3 to 5 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 is a portable, compact alternative to the standard command center that provides equivalent control functionality while enabling enhanced portability, ergonomic flexibility, and telesurgery capability.
The company’s technology has been clinically validated in India in more than 190 different types of surgical procedures, and the system utilizes over 40 different types of robotic endo-surgical instruments, including 5mm instruments for the pediatric population and ENT surgeries. More details about the company are available at ssinnovations.com and LinkedIn, and the full press release can be viewed at https://ibn.fm/Ujtlm. The development matters because it signals a step toward making specialized surgical expertise available regardless of a patient’s location, potentially improving outcomes and reducing costs associated with travel and delays in care.
