SS Innovations completes first telesurgery with new SSi Mantra console - The Robot Report

SS Innovations International Inc. has successfully completed the first telesurgery using its newly developed SSi Mantra Tele Surgeon Console (TSC), a compact, chair-based version of its larger SSi Mantra surgeon command center. Unveiled in 2024, the TSC features a smaller footprint, portability, and built-in electronics with lightweight glasses and 3D magnified viewing, enabling telesurgeries to be performed from diverse locations such as physician offices rather than traditional operating rooms. This design aims to expand patient access to surgical expertise by allowing surgical experts to operate remotely as long as connectivity is available. The company, based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, has focused on making robotic surgery more affordable and accessible globally, with its product lineup including the multi-arm SSi Mantra system and SSi Mudra instruments. To date, 35 telesurgeries, including 10 cardiac procedures, have been completed using the SSi Mantra, with the first American telesurgery occurring in June 2024
