SS Innovations Demonstrates Long-Distance Telesurgery
Capabilities
at Royal Australian College of Surgeons Annual Scientific Congress
Landmark telesurgery performed in Perth, Australia, more than 4,500 miles from the patient in India, utilizing the SSi Mantra surgical robotic system and SSi MantrAsana tele-surgeon console
Fort Lauderdale, FL – May 7, 2026 – SS Innovations International, Inc. (the “Company” or “SS Innovations”) (Nasdaq: SSII), a developer of innovative surgical robotic technologies dedicated to making robotic surgery affordable and accessible to a global population, today announced the successful completion of a long-distance cross-border telesurgery utilizing the SSi Mantra surgical robotic system (the “SSi Mantra”) and SSi MantrAsana tele-surgeon console (the “SSi MantrAsana”) and spanning more than 4,500 miles from the surgeon located at the Royal Australian College of Surgeons in Perth, Australia to the patient in Indore, India.
| On May 2, 2026, Dr. Mohit Bhandari, President of IRCAD India, remotely performed the live telesurgery, a robotic gastrojejunostomy1, during the Royal Australian College of Surgeons Annual Scientific Congress. To conduct the procedure, Dr. Bhandari utilized the SSi MantrAsana tele-surgeon console, a compact self-contained chair-based version of the larger SSi Mantra surgeon command center that enables portability, requires less space, and facilitates the performance of telesurgeries from a wide range of locations, including physician offices. | ![]() |

The SSi MantrAsana has been engineered for real-time remote procedures through ultra-low latency connectivity, high-definition visualization, and precise instrument control.
To date, more than 170 telesurgeries, including intricate cardiac procedures, have been performed with the SSi Mantra surgical robotic system.
Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of SS Innovations, commented, “We thank the Royal Australian College of Surgeons for this opportunity to demonstrate the advanced telesurgery capabilities of our SSi Mantra surgical robotic system. I’d also like to congratulate Dr. Bhandari and the SS Innovations team for making possible another successful long-distance cross-border telesurgery with the SSi Mantra. We believe that telesurgery has the power to transform traditional healthcare delivery and democratize access to global surgical expertise. We are proud to be pioneering this revolutionary technology.”
1A gastrojejunostomy is a surgical procedure that creates a new connection between the stomach and the middle small intestine (jejunum) to bypass the duodenum.
