Insights

Medical Technology Analyst

SS Innovations achieves first pediatric pyeloplasty telesurgery, demonstrating significant capabilities and expanding into pediatric robotics market.

The successful completion of the world's first pediatric pyeloplasty telesurgery using the SSi Mantra surgical robotic system represents a significant technological milestone in the telesurgery landscape. The procedure's execution across a distance of nearly 1,000 miles demonstrates the system's reliability and precision capabilities in a particularly challenging context - pediatric urology.

The pediatric application is especially noteworthy as operating on a 16-month-old patient requires exceptional precision given the smaller anatomical structures involved. This successful case adds to the company's growing portfolio of telesurgical procedures, which now exceeds 50 operations across six specialties (Pediatric, Cardiac, Urology, Gynecology, Oncology, and General Surgery) and distances up to 4,000 miles.

From a market perspective, this achievement positions SS Innovations to address the underserved pediatric surgical robotics segment. The company's stated intention to develop smaller instrumentation specifically for pediatric applications signals a strategic expansion into a specialized market segment where few competitors currently operate effectively.

The remote surgery capability aligns with the broader healthcare trend toward increasing access to specialized care in underserved regions. The ability to perform complex pediatric urological procedures remotely could significantly impact care delivery models, particularly in regions with limited access to pediatric surgical specialists.

Showcases SSi Mantra’s strengths in robotic telesurgery and opportunity in pediatrics

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  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 that the world’s first pediatric pyeloplasty telesurgery has been successfully performed utilizing the Company’s SSi Mantra surgical robotic system. Dr. Chandra Mohan Vaddi, Managing Director of Preeti Urology & Kidney Hospitals (“Preeti Hospital”), completed the robotic procedure remotely from SS Innovations’ headquarters in Gurugram, India, nearly 1,000 miles away from a 16-month-old patient located at Preeti Hospital in Hyderabad, India.

Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of SS Innovations, commented, “Our SSi Mantra surgical robotic system continues to lead the way in pioneering new telesurgeries across procedure types. We are thankful for the work of the team members at Preeti Hospital and Dr. Chandra Mohan Vaddi, who utilized the SSi Mantra to perform the world’s first pediatric pyeloplasty telesurgery. Compared to traditional methods, robotic surgery affords the potential to be more precise, less invasive with smaller incisions, less painful, and quicker with faster recovery times—all important considerations in both the pediatric space and in general surgery. Moreover, as physicians increasingly utilize the SSi Mantra and its telesurgery capabilities to reach patients in rural and remote areas, we further our mission of democratizing advanced surgical robotic care for patients in need.”

To date, more than 50 telesurgeries have been performed, at distances of up to 4,000 miles, utilizing the SSi Mantra surgical robotic system spanning the following categories:

• Pediatric
• Cardiac
• Urology
• Gynecology
• Oncology
• General Surgery

SS Innovations believes that it is addressing the unmet surgical robotic needs of the large and growing pediatrics market, aligning with the Company’s mission of bringing world-class care to underserved communities.   The Company intends to continue to expand SSi Mantra’s capabilities in pediatric robotic surgery through the development of smaller instrumentation.
