Made in India SSI Mantra Surgical Robotic System Enables World’s First Cardiac IntercontinentalRobotic Surgery between India and France
Udaipur : In a momentous leap forward for global medical collaboration and surgical innovation, SS Innovations International, Inc. has achieved a historic milestone at the Annual Conference of the Society of Robotic Surgery (SRS) in Strasbourg, France, with the successful completion of two complex intercontinental robotic telesurgeries using the indigenously developed SSI Mantra Surgical Robotic System. By harnessing advanced technology, SSII is compressing the barriers of time and distance, making surgical care more accessible to patients regardless of geography and enabling expert surgeons to operate remotely with precision, reshaping the future of global healthcare delivery.
The procedures remotely connected surgical teams across nearly 10,000 kilometres, linking the Institut de recherche contre les cancers de l'appareil digestif (IRCAD) Headquarters in Strasbourg, France, to the Sri Aurobindo Institute of Medical Sciences (SAIMS) and the IRCAD National Centre in Indore, India, showcasing the SSI Mantra’s extraordinary ability to deliver high-precision surgical care across continents.
The first, a gastric bypass, was performed by Dr. Mohit Bhandari, President of IRCAD India and Founder of Mohak Bariatrics and Robotics, Indore, in just over 44 minutes, with zero complications, underscoring the system’s unmatched stability, precision, and latency-free operation.
The second procedure, a robotic atrial septal defect (ASD) closure, was performed by Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of SS Innovations International, Inc. The live telesurgery was moderated by globally renowned robotic cardiac surgeon Dr. Husam H. Balkhy, M.D., President of the International Society for Minimally Invasive Cardiothoracic Surgery (ISMICS) and Professor of Surgery and Director of Robotic and Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery at the University of Chicago Medicine.
Speaking on this achievement, SS Innovations International Inc.’s Founder, Chairman, and CEO, Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, said, “I would like to extend my gratitude to Vipul Patel, M.D., F.A.C.S., Chairman of the Society of Robotic Surgery for an opportunity at the SRS 2025 Conference, Dr. Mohit Bhandari, the IRCAD India team, and the entire SS Innovations team whose dedication and innovation made the world’s first intercontinental robotic cardiac telesurgery possible. This historic achievement not only demonstrates the advanced capabilities of our SSI Mantra 3 surgical robotic system but also further paves the way for redefining and democratizing global delivery of complex cardiac care, especially in regions with limited access to surgical expertise.”
Dr. Mohit Bhandari, President of IRCAD India and Founder & Director of Mohak Bariatric and Robotic Surgery Centre, Indore, said, “Performing a complex gastric bypass remotely, across continents, marks a transformative moment in surgical science. It’s not just about technological capability; it’s about bridging gaps in access to quality healthcare. The success of the SSI Mantra system proves that the future of safe, precise, and inclusive surgery is here, and it’s being shaped in India.”
SS Innovations International is the only surgical robotics company to have received regulatory approval from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) for both tele-proctoring and telesurgery in India.
