A New Era in Surgical Care: SS Innovations Achieves Global First with Robotic Pediatric Pyeloplasty Telesurgery

SS Innovations, a trailblazer in surgical robotics, has just etched its name into the annals of medical history with a monumental achievement: the successful completion of the world's first pediatric pyeloplasty telesurgery. This groundbreaking procedure, performed using the company's state-of-the-art SSi Mantra Surgical Robotic System, promises to revolutionize access to advanced surgical care, especially for the youngest and most vulnerable patients.

The pioneering surgery was led by none other than Dr.

Sudhir Srivastava, the visionary Chairman of SS Innovations, who expertly guided the robotic system from Gandhinagar, Gujarat. Remarkably, the patient, a six-year-old child suffering from ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO), was located nearly a thousand kilometers away in Delhi. This extraordinary feat marks not only a global first in pediatric robotic telesurgery but also the longest distance ever covered for such a complex, delicate procedure, showcasing the incredible precision and reliability of the SSi Mantra system.

The pediatric pyeloplasty, an intricate procedure designed to correct an obstruction where the kidney meets the ureter, demands extreme precision and minimal invasiveness to ensure the best possible outcomes for young patients.

Dr. Srivastava's ability to perform this surgery remotely underscores the transformative potential of tele-robotic surgery. "This achievement represents a monumental leap forward for healthcare, particularly in regions where access to specialized surgical expertise is limited," stated Dr. Srivastava.

"Our SSi Mantra system is not just a technological marvel; it's a bridge, connecting patients in need with world-class surgical care, irrespective of geographical barriers. It's about making advanced surgery accessible, affordable, and equitable for everyone, starting with our children."

The successful operation was a collaborative effort, with a dedicated team of experts in Delhi providing crucial support and patient management.

Key figures included Dr. V. Srinivas, Dr. Saurabh Pokhriyal, and Dr. Praveen Pandey, whose seamless coordination ensured the child's well-being throughout the procedure. Dr. Pokhriyal lauded the SSi Mantra system, remarking, "The precision and control offered by the SSi Mantra system are truly remarkable.

Performing such a delicate pediatric surgery from such a distance, with zero complications, speaks volumes about its capabilities. This technology will undoubtedly reshape how we deliver surgical care."

Vinay Kumar, CEO of SS Innovations, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the company's unwavering commitment to innovation.

"Our mission at SS Innovations has always been to push the boundaries of medical technology to improve patient outcomes. This historic telesurgery is a testament to our team's dedication and the transformative power of the SSi Mantra. We are incredibly proud to lead this revolution in surgical care, making advanced procedures more accessible and transforming lives across the globe."

The implications of this breakthrough are profound.

By demonstrating the feasibility and safety of long-distance robotic surgery, SS Innovations is paving the way for a future where geographical location no longer dictates the quality or availability of critical surgical interventions. This achievement not only elevates India's standing on the global medical stage but also offers a beacon of hope for countless patients worldwide, promising a future where specialized care is just a robot-assisted connection away.
