SS Innovations International, a developer of innovative surgical robotic technologies dedicated to making robotic surgery affordable and accessible to a global population, has announced that the company’s SSi Mantra surgical robotic system has been approved for telesurgeries in Indonesia and the Philippines.
The company also announced that more than 150 cumulative telesurgeries have been successfully performed utilizing the SSi Mantra surgical robotic system, primarily in India.
Among recent highlights showcasing the advanced capabilities of the SSi Mantra, a total of 18 inter-hospital telesurgeries were performed between two Indian cities during an eight-hour period on February 14, 2026, including 13 gastric bypass procedures performed by Dr Mohit Bhandari from Mohak Bariatrics and Robotics in Indore, India and 5 complex gynecological surgeries performed by Dr Priya Bhave Chittawar from HER Health Hospital in Bhopal, India.
All procedures were conducted using the SSi MantrAsana Tele Surgeon Console, a compact self-contained chair-based version of the larger SSi Mantra surgeon command center that enables portability, requires less space, and facilitates the performance of telesurgeries from a wide range of settings, including physician offices.
This feat comes on the heels of a robotic telesurgery marathon that took place from SS Innovation’s headquarters on December 23, 2025, during which nine surgeons utilized the SSi Mantra to perform 24 telesurgeries within a 12-hour period on patients located across multiple locations in India.
The telesurgeries consisted of 10 different types of procedures, including intricate cardiac surgeries.
Dr Sudhir Srivastava, chairman and CEO of SS Innovations, says: “The SSi Mantra surgical robotic system continues to pioneer telesurgery, not merely in concept but in real-world practice and rapidly growing adoption by leading physicians.
“We are thrilled to receive approval for telesurgeries utilizing the SSi Mantra in two new markets: Indonesia and the Philippines.
“We also are pleased to surpass the milestone of more than 150 telesurgeries successfully performed with the SSi Mantra, indicating that we are gaining significant traction in enabling state-of-the-art remote surgical care.
“The SSi Mantra’s advanced telesurgery capabilities empower the cross-sharing of physicians’ expertise and dismantle traditional geographical barriers to care, furthering our mission of driving equitable access to quality healthcare.”
Global Multi-Specialty Robotic Surgery Conference 2026
