Dr. Priya Bhave Chittawar conducted the first robotic telesurgery performed from SS Innovations’ MantraM mobile robotic telesurgery unit.
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 robotic telesurgery performed from the company’s MantraM mobile robotic telesurgery unit.
Dr. Priya Bhave Chittawar, founder and managing director of Harmony Institute of Excellence in Reproductive Health (HER Health), guided a complex hysterectomy remotely from the MantraM bus, utilizing SS Innovations’ SSi Mantra surgical robotic system and connecting to an operating room at HER Health in Bhopal, India.
In July 2025, SS Innovations launched a MantraM bus tour across India to showcase the capabilities of its mobile robotic telesurgery unit and the SSi Mantra surgical robotic system. The company said that the tour focused on visits to and demonstrations at hospitals, clinics, conferences and medical colleges in India’s underserved communities.
“We believe that our advanced, cost-efficient SSi Mantra surgical robotic system, proven telesurgery capabilities and state-of-the-art MantraM mobile unit afford the ability to overcome traditional cost and distance hurdles, thereby enabling delivery of world-class surgical care to underserved patient communities,” said Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, chairman of the board and CEO of SS Innovations International. “We are grateful for the support of the HER Health team and Dr. Chittawar, who successfully carried out the first robotic telesurgery performed from our MantraM bus, marking another important milestone in our mission to democratize access to top-tier surgical robotic care and expertise.”
SS Innovations has performed multiple complex telesurgeries in 2025:
Now, the company has rolled out the MantraM bus for further robotic telesurgery offerings.
“The MantraM bus is designed to not only bring specialized care to patients in remote settings but also to facilitate immersive surgical robotic education and training for a wider range of physicians and other medical professionals, regardless of their location,” Dr. Srivastava said.
