Indian doctors in France perform complex surgeries on 2 patients in Indore, courtesy robotics tech
Agencies Indian surgeons performed complex surgeries on two patients in Indore while attending a conference around 8,000 km away at Strasbourg in France, showcasing the effectiveness and major advancements in cross-continent robotic telesurgery. The two procedures, a gastric bypass and a cardiac atrial septal defect (ASD) closure, were performed by two Indian surgeons at the annual conference of the Society of Robotic Surgery (SRS) held in Strasbourg using the indigenously developed SSI Mantra Surgical Robotic System. The conference held from July 16-20 was attended by scientists, surgeons and medtech partners from across the world. The first procedure, a gastric bypass, was performed by Dr Mohit Bhandari, president of IRCAD India and founder of Mohak Bariatrics and Robotics, Indore, on July out remotely from Strasbourg, the surgery lasted just over 44 minutes and was completed without second surgery, a robotic closure of an atrial septal defect (ASD), a form of congenital heart defect, was carried out by Dr Sudhir Srivastava, founder-chairman and CEO of SS Innovations International Inc., from Strasbourg while the patient remained in procedure was moderated live at the conference by Dr Husam H Balkhy, president of the International Society for Minimally Invasive Cardiothoracic Surgery (ISMICS), and director of robotic and minimally invasive cardiac surgery at the University of Chicago event served as a compelling demonstration of the growing feasibility of real-time, cross-continental surgical collaboration, Srivastava procedures were performed remotely from the Institut de recherche contre les cancers de l'appareil digestif (IRCAD) headquarters in Strasbourg at two medical centres in Indore -- Sri Aurobindo Institute of Medical Sciences (SAIMS) and IRCAD National in Indore, the patient-side support team ensured seamless coordination, led by Dr Lalit Malik, chief of cardiac surgery at Manipal Hospital, Jaipur; Dr Ram Krishna Shukla, cardiologist, and Dr Bipin Arya, anesthesiologist, both from SAIMS, procedures were supported by technical teams from both SS Innovations and SAIMS, ensuring real-time responsiveness and safety. The success of the surgeries highlights the viability of intercontinental robotic procedures as a real-world solution to longstanding healthcare access challenges. By eliminating the need for travel and enabling remote expertise to be applied in real time, robotic telesurgery is redefining the boundaries of healthcare delivery - especially for patients in remote or underserved regions, Srivastava said."I am deeply grateful to Dr Vipul Patel, Dr Mohit Bhandari, the IRCAD India team, and everyone at SS Innovations for making the world's first intercontinental robotic cardiac telesurgery a reality."Importantly, such procedures are not only technically viable but also economically accessible, with costs comparable to conventional surgeries, typically ranging between Rs 80,000 and Rs 3.5 lakh, depending on the case and on the hospital, the complexity of the surgery, and the specific case requirements," Srivastava said, "Performing a complex gastric bypass remotely, across continents, marks a transformative moment in surgical science. It's not just about technological capability; it's about bridging gaps in access to quality healthcare."The success of the SSI Mantra system proves that the future of safe, precise, and inclusive surgery is here, and it's being shaped in India." At a conference dominated by global giants in medical technology, the execution of such high-stakes procedures using indigenous technology reflects a growing shift in innovation leadership and global collaboration in healthcare, he date, 35 telesurgeries - including 10 cardiac cases, and over 250 cardiac procedures - have been successfully completed using the SSI Mantra system, Srivastava said. SS Innovations International is the only surgical robotics company to have received regulatory approval from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) for both tele-proctoring and telesurgery in India, he said.

GMCH Nagpur Dean Performs India's First Public Sector Telesurgery From 1,A00km away
1 2 Nagpur: In a first-of-its-kind medical feat in the public healthcare system, Dr Raj Gajbhiye, eminent surgeon and dean of Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), performed two robotic surgeries from a distance of over 1,000km, while seated at a console in Gurugram. The historic procedures, carried out last week using the indigenously developed SSI Mantra Surgical Robotic System, mark India's first telesurgery in a govt hospital. The landmark operations — a hernia repair and a gallbladder removal — were performed by Dr Gajbhiye during his visit to the robotic facility in Gurugram. Despite the vast distance, both procedures were completed with flawless precision and minimal latency, thanks to the seamless integration of robotic technology and on-ground coordination by the surgical team in Nagpur. Dr Gajbhiye returned to Nagpur on Sunday after the successful demonstration. Calling the achievement a breakthrough for public health institutions in India, Dr Gajbhiye said, "This historic surgery sets a precedent for every govt medical institution in India. By successfully demonstrating telesurgery in a public setting, we are redefining the future of healthcare access and medical training. GMCH Nagpur is proud to lead this transformation in collaboration with SS Innovations International. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo " The SSI Mantra system, developed by Indian firm SSII, is the country's first and only indigenous robotic surgery platform.
