Robotic Surgery Champs of India congregated @SS Innovations Headquarters in Gurgaon to script World Record
Gurugram/ New Delhi: SSI Mantra, the ‘Only Made in India’ surgical robot is now like a star single in the sky of surgical robotics of the world after it ‘batted thousand’ by completing 100 robotic tele surgeries. SSIMantra scripted this century and world record by topping off with 20 plus tele- surgeries in one day on December 23 at its Gurugram Headquarters. This best in class surgical robot has proved beyond doubt that it is way ahead of the curve and other surgical robots have nothing to top it in near future.
Champions of robotic surgeries from all across India assembled in SSI Mantra’s Head office and flawlessly did surgeries on patients spread across the nation. It was also an occasion when luminaries of robotic surgery showered prolific praise on SSI Mantra’s capability as a surgical robot and said in unison that SSI Mantra is best in class and others in the domain cannot hold candle to it. It was natural that Dr Sudhir Srivastava, a world renowned cardiac robotic surgeon and maker of SSI Mantra felt like million dollars at this rare singular achievement.
SS Innovations International Inc, the developer of India’s first indigenous surgical robotic system, SSII Mantra stood at a rare moment of accomplishment. This milestone marked a significant step forward in the evolution of technology-enabled healthcare, demonstrating how advanced surgical expertise can be delivered reliably across distances through indigenous innovation. It was India’s first Marathan Robotic Telesugery on December 23 during which 20 plus tele-enabled robotic surgeries were performed in a single day. This initiative serves as a real-world clinical validation of the SSII Mantra platform, showcasing its precision, safety, and scalability across multiple surgical specialties. It further highlights the growing role of robotic telesurgery in strengthening healthcare infrastructure and extending specialist driven care to regions beyond major metropolitan centres.
The milestone underscores the transformative potential of telesurgery for a nation of 1.4 billion people where access to advanced surgical care remains uneven. By enabling expert surgeons to operate remotely, SSII Mantra helps bridge critical healthcare gaps, reduces geographic inequities, and supports the creation of a more inclusive and resilient healthcare ecosystem while reinforcing India’s emergence as a global leader in medical technology and surgical innovation.
“Completing 100 telesurgeries with SSII Mantra represents a defining moment for Indian medtech innovation,” said Dr Sudhir Srivastava, Founder, Chairman and CEO of SS Innovations International, Inc, “This Marathon Robotic Telesurgery is a real clinical demonstration of scale precision and reliability. Our mission is to ensure that advanced surgical care is no longer restricted by geographies and that world class expertise developed in India can reach patients everywhere through safe and dependable technology, Dr Srivastava added.
The Marathon Robotic Telesurgery featured leading surgeons from across specialties. They are:
Dr Sudhir Rawal, Medical Director and Chief of Uro Genito Oncology Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute and Research Centre commented,“Robotic telesurgery using SSII Mantra enables precise and timely cancer care for patients who may otherwise lack access to specialized surgical expertise. This milestone reflects a meaningful shift in how oncology care can be delivered at scale.”
Dr Mohit Bhandari, President IRCAD India and Director of Bariatric Surgery Mohak Bariatrics and Robotics added,“This achievement establishes telesurgery as a practical and scalable solution rather than a future concept. It demonstrates how complex procedures can be decentralized without compromising clinical outcomes.”
Dr Chandramohan Vaddi, Managing Director and Head of Urology Preeti Urology and Kidney Hospitals Hyderabad, opined, “The consistency and responsiveness of the SSII Mantra system during telesurgery strengthens surgeon confidence and expand the scope of remote complex urological procedures.”
Dr Lalit Malik, Consultant Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgeon Manipal Hospital was all praisals, “High precision specialties such as cardiac surgery demand absolute reliability. The performance demonstrated by SSII Mantra highlights its robustness and growing relevance for advanced remote cardiac care.”
Dr Magan Mehrotra, Senior Bariatric and Robotic Surgeon Apex Hospital Moradabad said “This Marathon Robotic Telesurgery illustrates how indigenous technology can bring advanced surgical care closer to patients in smaller cities and underserved regions making healthcare not just accessible but also affordable for the masses.”
Dr Venkatesh Munikrishnan of Apollo did surgery sitting pretty on Mantrashana and connecting to Apollo Proton Cancer Centre, Chennai. Dr Priya Bhave Chittawar was also one among robotic surgery champs.
With 100 telesurgeries successfully completed and India’s first Marathon Robotic Telesurgery successfully accomplished, SS Innovations International,Inc continues to demonstrate the clinical maturity and scalability of the SSII Mantra platform. The milestone reflects the company’s long-term commitment to expanding access to safe, high quality surgical care, and positions India at the forefront of the global transition towards technology enabled and remotely delivered healthcare solutions.
