SS Innovations International, a developer of innovative surgical robotic technologies dedicated to making robotic surgery affordable and accessible to a global population, today announces the first successful surgical procedure at the National Institute of Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases (NITRD) in New Delhi, India using the SSi Mantra surgical robotic system.
NITRD is the first Central Government Institution in India to purchase SS Innovations’ state-of-the-art SSi Mantra surgical robotic system, and the first Indian hospital with national status to conduct robotic surgery using the indigenous SSi Mantra surgical robotic system. NITRD Director, Dr. Ravindra Kumar Dewan, and consultant thoracic surgeon, Dr. Saraansh Bansal, recently performed the successful lung surgery.
Dr. Dewan said, “SSi Mantra’s surgeon’s console provides a magnified, close-up view of the surgical area compared to the traditional visual-assisted system. The maneuverability of the robotic arms enabled us to better access the thoracic cavity, making it far easier to perform the surgery with ease and precision.”
Dr. Bansal added, “The vision of SS Innovations to make better healthcare available to everyone in the world with the development of the affordable surgical robot, SSi Mantra, has enabled a Government Institution to procure this system so that the poorest of the poor of this nation can benefit from this technology and improve the quality of their lives.”
Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, CEO, Chairman and Founder of SS Innovations, said, “We are delighted with the enthusiastic market response to our flagship SSi Mantra surgical robotic device. The recent successful completion of a lung surgery using the SSi Mantra system at the prestigious NITRD in New Delhi represents an important milestone in providing gold standard care to patients from across the entire spectrum of healthcare in India.
“SS Innovations is grateful to the NITRD for its leadership and collaboration as we strive to deliver safe, affordable healthcare to patients who might otherwise not have access to this technology.”
