SS Innovations successfully performed a telesurgery from Australia to India using the SSi Mantra system, highlighting the potential to democratize global surgical expertise.

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. This demonstration 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 enables real-time remote surgeries 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, stated, 'We believe that telesurgery has the power to transform traditional healthcare delivery and democratize access to global surgical expertise.'
This achievement underscores the potential of telesurgery to bridge geographical gaps and provide specialized surgical care to underserved regions. The SSi Mantra system, which features 3 to 5 modular robotic arms, an open-faced ergonomic surgeon command center, and a large 3D 4K monitor, has been clinically validated in over 100 different types of surgical procedures in India. The optional SSi MantrAsana console enhances portability and ergonomic flexibility, making remote surgeries feasible from various locations, including physician offices.
The successful long-distance telesurgery at the Royal Australian College of Surgeons annual congress marks a significant step toward making robotic surgery more accessible globally. SS Innovations plans to expand the global presence of its cost-effective surgical robotic solutions, aiming to democratize access to advanced surgical care.
