SS Innovations has achieved a historic milestone in the field of surgical care with the successful completion of the world’s first robotic telesurgery for weight loss using its proprietary SSi Mantra 3 surgical robotic system. This pioneering bariatric procedure was conducted across a distance of 560 miles, connecting the company’s headquarters in Gurugram to the Mohak Bariatric & Robotic Surgery Centre in Indore, India. The seamless execution of One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB) surgeries, with no perceptible latency or compromise in precision, underscores the remarkable capabilities of the SSi Mantra 3 system in enabling high-quality remote interventions. This innovation not only pushes the boundaries of surgical robotics but also demonstrates the system’s reliability and advanced connectivity in real-world settings.

Designed with accessibility and affordability at its core, the SSi Mantra 3 platform is enabling a new paradigm in healthcare delivery. By supporting remote-controlled operations, the system empowers expert surgeons to deliver critical care to geographically distant patients without the need for travel, both for clinicians and patients. In this inaugural telesurgery, Dr. Mohit Bhandari remotely led a local surgical team on-site in Indore, ensuring clinical oversight and seamless procedural coordination. The procedure exemplifies how advanced robotic systems can integrate into existing healthcare infrastructures to bridge care disparities, reduce procedural delays, and expand the reach of specialized surgical expertise.

This milestone reinforces SS Innovations' commitment to democratizing robotic surgery, particularly in regions where access to advanced surgical care remains limited. The successful deployment of telesurgery signals a transformative shift in global healthcare, where physical distance no longer restricts patient access to expert procedures. With its focus on innovation that meets real-world clinical needs, SS Innovations is redefining surgical standards and setting a precedent for the future of remote and robotic-assisted care. As the company continues to expand its footprint, the implications for healthcare equity, efficiency, and excellence are profound—making high-quality surgical intervention more inclusive and future-ready.
