SS Innovations Achieves 4,500-Mile Telesurgery Milestone at Australian Surgeons Congress

SS Innovations International, Inc. (Nasdaq: SSII) has demonstrated the feasibility of long-distance telesurgery by successfully performing a robotic gastrojejunostomy on a patient in Indore, India, from a surgeon located more than 4,500 miles away in Perth, Australia. The procedure took place on May 2, 2026, during the Royal Australian College of Surgeons Annual Scientific Congress, and marks a significant step toward making specialized surgical care accessible across vast geographical distances.

Dr. Mohit Bhandari, President of IRCAD India, remotely operated the SSi Mantra surgical robotic system using the SSi MantrAsana tele-surgeon console—a compact, chair-based version of the standard surgeon command center that enhances portability and enables telesurgeries from diverse 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.

This achievement underscores the growing capabilities of telesurgery, which has the potential to transform healthcare delivery by allowing expert surgeons to perform procedures on patients in remote or underserved regions. 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, 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.”

The SSi Mantra system is a user-friendly, modular, multi-arm robotic platform featuring 3 to 5 modular arms, an open-faced ergonomic surgeon command center, a large 3D 4K monitor, and a virtual real-time image of the robotic patient-side arm carts. It supports over 40 different types of robotic endo-surgical instruments for various specialties, including cardiac surgery and pediatric procedures. The optional SSi MantrAsana Tele Surgeon Console provides equivalent control functionality in a portable, compact form factor.

This demonstration has implications for global healthcare equity, as it suggests that patients in remote locations could access top-tier surgical expertise without the need for travel. For SS Innovations, which plans to expand the global presence of its cost-effective surgical robotic solutions, the successful telesurgery reinforces the company’s position as a pioneer in making robotic surgery affordable and accessible worldwide.
