SS Innovations completes world’s first intercontinental cardiac telesurgery

FORT LAUDERDALE - SS Innovations International, Inc. (NASDAQ:SSII), a $1.63 billion market cap surgical robotics company that has seen its stock surge nearly 98% over the past year, announced that its Chairman and CEO Dr. Sudhir Srivastava successfully performed the world’s first intercontinental robotic cardiac telesurgery on July 19, 2025.

The procedure, a robotic atrial septal defect closure, was conducted remotely from IRCAD headquarters in Strasbourg, France, while the patient was located at Sri Aurobindo Institute of Medical Sciences (SAIMS) in Indore, India—a distance exceeding 4,000 miles.

The surgery utilized the company’s SSi Mantra 3 surgical robotic system and was performed during the Society of Robotic Surgery Annual Meeting. According to the company, the procedure was completed with "imperceptible latency" and without technical issues.

Patient-side support in India was coordinated by a team of specialists including Dr. Lalit Malik from Manipal Hospital, Dr. Ram Krishna Shukla and Dr. Bipin Arya from SAIMS. Dr. Husam H. Balkhy, President of the International Society for Minimally Invasive Cardiothoracic Surgery, moderated the live telesurgery.

SS Innovations reports that 35 telesurgeries, including 10 cardiac procedures, have been performed using the SSi Mantra system to date. The company, which has achieved impressive revenue growth of 177% in the last twelve months to $22.13 million, states that over 5,000 multi-specialty surgeries have been completed with the system without device-related adverse events.

The SSi Mantra system features 3 to 5 modular robotic arms, a 3D 4K monitor, and can utilize over 40 different types of robotic endo-surgical instruments.

SS Innovations is the only surgical robotic company to have received regulatory approval from India’s Central Drugs Standard Control Organization for both teleproctoring and telesurgery, according to the press release statement.
