SS Innovations International, Inc. (Nasdaq: SSII), a developer of surgical robotic technologies, announced that its SSi Mantra surgical robotic system has been approved for telesurgeries in Indonesia and the Philippines. The company also reported that more than 150 cumulative telesurgeries have been successfully performed using the system, primarily in India.
Among recent highlights, 18 inter-hospital telesurgeries were performed between two Indian cities during an eight-hour period on February 14, 2026. This included 13 gastric bypass procedures by Dr. Mohit Bhandari from Mohak Bariatrics and Robotics in Indore, and five complex gynecological surgeries by Dr. Priya Bhave Chittawar from HER Health Hospital in Bhopal. All procedures utilized the SSi MantrAsana Tele Surgeon Console, a compact chair-based version of the surgeon command center designed for portability and telesurgery from various settings.
This achievement follows a robotic telesurgery marathon on December 23, 2025, from SS Innovations’ headquarters, where nine surgeons performed 24 telesurgeries within 12 hours on patients across multiple locations in India. The procedures included ten different types, such as intricate cardiac surgeries.
“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,” said Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, Chairman and CEO of SS Innovations. “We are thrilled to receive approval for telesurgeries in Indonesia and the Philippines and to surpass 150 telesurgeries, indicating significant traction in enabling state-of-the-art remote surgical care.”
SS Innovations is hosting the Global Multi-Specialty Robotic Surgery Conference 2026 (SMRSC 2026) from April 9-11, 2026, in New Delhi, India. The conference will feature more than 20 live telesurgeries using the SSi Mantra, spanning multiple specialties. Registration is available at ssinnovations.com/SMRSC_2026/register/.
The SSi Mantra is a modular, multi-arm system with features including 3 to 5 robotic arms, an open-faced ergonomic surgeon console, a large 3D 4K monitor, and over 40 types of robotic endo-surgical instruments. It has been clinically validated in India for more than 100 different surgical procedures.
