I am deeply grateful to the almighty for the privilege of leading a robotic telesurgery for a large gastric tumour, conducted from the SSI Headquarters, Delhi, on a patient at Prakriya Hospitals, Bengaluru, using the SSI Mantra Robotic System by Dr. Santhosh
The telesurgery program began with a successful inguinoscrotal hernia repair, validating the precision and reliability of the remote surgical system. The next case involved a complex gastric tumour near the gastroesophageal junction, closely associated with the pancreas, spleen, and adrenal gland. Through the SSI Mantra platform, we achieved a spleen-preserving gastric resection, maintaining organ integrity while ensuring complete tumor clearance. Following this, a telerobotic cholecystectomy was performed using the same docking setup, demonstrating the system’s operational efficiency and seamless workflow.
Prakriya Hospitals Bengaluru successfully completed its first telesurgery in collaboration with SS Innovations International, Inc., connecting over 2,116 kilometers to Gurugram, Haryana. This milestone showcases how robotic cancer surgery, combined with telesurgical technology, is bridging geographical divides and expanding access to advanced oncologic care.
The Founder and Chairman of SS Innovations International, Inc., commended the entire team for their dedication to advancing the future of remote robotic surgery.
Robotic cancer surgery is not merely a technological breakthrough, it represents a shift toward accessible, precise, and patient-centered oncology care. With telesurgery, surgeons like Dr. Santhosh can extend world-class expertise to patients everywhere, ensuring safer procedures and better health outcomes for all.
