SS Innovations, the company behind India's first and only domestic surgical robotic system, SSI Mantra, has successfully completed the country's first North-to-South robotic cardiac telesurgery, redefining the future of healthcare. This historic treatment, made possible by the cutting-edge SSI Mantra 3 Surgical Robotic System, spanned a 2,000-kilometer gap with no latency between Aster CMI Hospital in Bengaluru and SS Innovations' headquarters in Gurugram.
This accomplishment has created new pathways and raised the benchmark for providing state-of-the-art surgical treatment that is accessible over great distances. The accomplishment of this crucial cardiac telesurgery ushers in a significant shift in Indian healthcare and opens the door for a time when cutting-edge surgical technology will be essential to improving access to and effectiveness of healthcare globally.
A 35-year-old patient had a two-hour, forty-minute long-distance tele-robotic-assisted intracardiac procedure to close a complicated Atrial Septal Defect (ASD), a congenital disorder in which there is a tiny hole between the two upper chambers of the heart.
Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, the founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of SS Innovations in Gurugram, oversaw the process with the assistance of his knowledgeable staff and Dr. Arul Furtado, the consultant for cardiovascular and thoracic surgery at Aster CMI Hospital in Bengaluru. The accuracy and efficiency of robotic-assisted remote surgery were further highlighted by the surgery's remarkable precision and exceptionally low latency.
The future of robotic surgery and telemedicine is being redefined by telesurgery performed over a vast distance of more than 2000 kilometers. Dr. Kushal Agrawal, Associate Consultant-Surgical Oncology, assisted on-site in Bengaluru, while Prof. Dr. Somashekhar S P, Head of the Department of Surgical Oncology at Aster Hospitals, led this ground-breaking achievement from SS Innovations Headquarters in Gurugram.
