India’s indigenous surgical robotic system SSI Mantra has successfully performed two robotic cardiac surgeries through telesurgery at a distance of 286 kilometers.

Performed remotely from Gurugram to Manipal Hospital Jaipur by Dr. Sudhir Srivastava using SSI Mantra, the telerobotic-assisted Internal Mammary Artery Harvesting procedure was conducted in just under an hour.

The surgery demonstrated exceptional accuracy with an incredibly low latency of only 35-40 milliseconds (1/20th of a second). According to doctors, this historical milestone paves the way for the future advanced surgical technology Accessible and efficient global health care becomes a key component.

Both surgeries demonstrated seamless teamwork over long distances, setting a new standard for remote surgical intervention. These achievements underline The transformative potential of telesurgery Overcoming geographical barriers, enabling timely, high-quality medical care with unparalleled accuracy.

“We are thrilled to advance the capabilities of surgery to benefit humanity, especially in areas where it is needed most. By enabling telesurgery, we can bridge the gap in access to medical expertise and provide the highest standards of care, regardless of geographic barriers. For a country like India with a huge rural population and significant health care disparities, this innovation is transformative,” said Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, Founder and Chairman, SS Innovations.

What are the benefits of telesurgery?,

According to Dr. Srivastava, Telesurgery brings world-class surgical expertise directly to disadvantaged communities, eliminating the need for patients to travel long distances to urban centers for specialized care.

Apart from ensuring timely intervention while reducing the logistical and financial burden on families, it is also useful in fulfilling the mission of providing easy access to robotic surgery.

“This groundbreaking interstate robotic cardiac telesurgery marks a significant leap forward Enhancing Patient Care Through Innovation“Remote robot-assisted CABG on an elderly patient from Jaipur is an example of how technology is bridging the geographical gap to provide precise and timely medical intervention,” said Dr Lalit, head of cardiac surgery at Manipal Hospital, Jaipur. Malik said.

Recent approval of ssi mantra 3 The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) has opened the doors to remote surgery and medical education, allowing health care professionals to collaborate across distances.
