SS Innovations International, Inc. (NASDAQ: SSII) announced that its subsidiary, the SS International Centre for Robotics Surgery (SSICRS), has graduated the inaugural class of its Cardiac Robotic Surgery Training program. This milestone is significant as it demonstrates the company's commitment to expanding the adoption of robotic-assisted surgery globally, particularly in regions where such technology has been less accessible due to cost constraints.
The five-day course brought together 33 participants from seven countries and 16 international faculty members. The curriculum included classroom instruction, live surgical demonstrations, and hands-on training using the company’s SSi Mantra surgical robotic system. The training program is designed to equip surgeons with the skills needed to perform robotic cardiac procedures, potentially increasing the number of specialists who can offer minimally invasive surgeries.
SS Innovations said SSICRS plans to expand its educational offerings through additional condensed training programs covering multiple surgical specialties, including urology, gynecology, thoracic, colorectal, gastrointestinal and general surgery. This expansion could accelerate the adoption of robotic surgery across various medical fields, addressing a growing demand for less invasive treatment options.
The company stated that the training center combines modern lecture facilities, advanced simulation labs, tele-proctoring and online learning modules to support surgeon education and the broader adoption of robotic-assisted surgery. This integrated approach may lower barriers to entry for hospitals and surgeons considering robotic surgery, particularly in emerging markets.
SS Innovations' SSi Mantra system is positioned as a cost-effective alternative to established robotic surgical systems, aiming to make the benefits of robotic surgery affordable and accessible to a larger segment of the global population. The company's product range also includes its comprehensive suite of SSi Mudra surgical instruments, which support a variety of surgical robotic procedures including cardiac surgery.
