Dr. Sudhir Srivastava performed the first telesurgery on SS Innovation's new compact SSi Mantra Tele Surgeon Console from his home in India on a patient 185 miles away.
SS Innovations International, a developer of surgical robotic technologies that aims to make healthcare via robotic surgery affordable for and accessible to a global population, announced the successful completion of the first telesurgery performed with the Company’s SSi Mantra Tele Surgeon Console (TSC).
The company described TSC as 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.
SS Innovations first showcased TSC at the 2024 Society of Robotic Surgery Meeting. Since then, the company has made several technological refinements to the compact console.
In October 2025, Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, chairman of the board and CEO of SS Innovations, utilized the TSC for the first time to remotely perform a robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass procedure from his residence in New Delhi, India, on a patient located approximately 185 miles away at Manipal Hospital in Jaipur, India.
“We believe that the SSi Mantra Tele Surgeon Console will offer significant advantages for telesurgery applications in the future and promote greater patient access to surgical expertise,” Dr. Srivastava said. “The TSC is a compact, self-contained chair with inbuilt electronics, supported by lightweight glasses and magnified three-dimensional view capabilities as well as magnetic sensor-based controls.”
SS Innovations said that this milestone demonstrates the benefits of the TSC’s compact design, which enables the provision of surgical expertise from various locations, without requiring the resources of an entire operating room.
“The TSC has a smaller footprint compared to our standard surgeon command center, providing hospital networks with flexibility to place consoles in the offices of surgical experts without tying up entire operating rooms,” Dr. Srivastava added. “As long as connectivity is available, we believe that telesurgery and physician expertise can be extended from anywhere using the TSC.”
