SS Innovations Conducts Robotic Telesurgery Between Australia & India Across 10,000 Km

The procedure involved a robotic gastrojejunostomy performed remotely by Dr. Mohit Bhandari, President, IRCAD India, from Perth on a patient located in Indore.

SS Innovations International, Inc. (SSII) has conducted a long-distance robotic telesurgery connecting Perth, Australia, and Indore, India, spanning over 10,000 kilometres, using its indigenous SSI Mantra Surgical Robotic System and the MantrAsana Tele-Surgeon Console.

The procedure involved a robotic gastrojejunostomy performed remotely by Dr. Mohit Bhandari, President, IRCAD India, from Perth on a patient located in Indore. The surgery was completed in approximately three minutes, with the system maintaining a round-trip transmission latency of under 150 milliseconds, including both data and video signals.

The demonstration was conducted during the Annual Scientific Congress 2026 of The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS), held in Perth from April 30 to May 3. The session showcased the feasibility of executing complex surgical procedures across continents using robotic and telecommunication technologies.

According to SSII, the procedure highlighted the operational capabilities of its SSI Mantra platform integrated with the portable MantrAsana console, designed for remote surgical interventions. The company stated that the system enabled real-time responsiveness and precision during the procedure despite the geographical distance.

Dr. Mohit Bhandari said, “This telesurgical milestone demonstrates that distance is no longer a barrier in delivering advanced surgical care. Performing a complex robotic gastrojejunostomy from Perth on a patient in Indore with such precision validates the robustness of the made in India SSI Mantra platform and the transformative capabilities of MantrAsana.”

Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of SS Innovations International, Inc., said the development reflects ongoing efforts to expand access to robotic-assisted surgical care across geographies. “Powered by our indigenous SSI Mantra and MantrAsana platforms, this achievement demonstrates the potential of technology to enable seamless care delivery across borders,” he said.

The company indicated that such demonstrations are part of broader efforts to scale robotic surgery infrastructure and enable remote surgical capabilities in diverse healthcare settings.
