SS Innovations International (NASDAQ: SSII) announced that its subsidiary, the SS International Centre for Robotics Surgery (SSICRS), has graduated the inaugural class of its Cardiac Robotic Surgery Training program. The five-day course brought together 33 participants from seven countries and 16 international faculty members for classroom instruction, live surgical demonstrations and hands-on training using the company’s SSi Mantra surgical robotic system.
The training center combines modern lecture facilities, advanced simulation labs, tele-proctoring and online learning modules to support surgeon education and the broader adoption of robotic-assisted surgery. SS Innovations said SSICRS plans to expand its educational offerings through additional condensed training programs covering multiple surgical specialties, including urology, gynecology, thoracic, colorectal, gastrointestinal and general surgery.
This milestone underscores SS Innovations' commitment to making robotic surgery affordable and accessible globally. The SSi Mantra system, designed to be cost-effective, aims to address the high costs that have limited robotic surgery adoption in many regions. By training surgeons worldwide, the company hopes to overcome barriers to adoption, particularly in emerging markets where surgical robotics penetration remains low.
