India’s SSI Mantra Achieves World-First Robotic Cardiac Telesurgeries

India has achieved a groundbreaking milestone in medical technology with its indigenous surgical robotic system, SSI Mantra. It recently performed two world-first robotic cardiac telesurgeries, achieving an impressive latency of just 40 milliseconds.

What is Telesurgery?

Telesurgery is a revolutionary medical technique that allows surgeons to perform operations remotely using robotics and high-definition cameras. A stable, high-speed data connection enables this cutting-edge approach, bringing expert care to even the remotest locations.

About SSI Mantra

  • Regulatory Pioneer: SSI Mantra is the only robotic system worldwide to gain regulatory approval for telesurgery and tele-proctoring.
  • Approval by CDSCO: It has been approved by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO), India’s central regulatory authority under the Drugs & Cosmetics Act, 1940.
  • Notable Achievement: SSI Mantra successfully performed a robotic beating heart Totally Endoscopic Coronary Artery Bypass (TECAB)—one of the most complex cardiac procedures.

Applications of Robotics in Healthcare

  1. Safety and Monitoring Robots
    • Advanced telepresence systems use computer vision to monitor patient vitals and ensure safety in critical care environments.
  2. Robotic Prosthetics
    • Cutting-edge robotic limbs and exoskeletons enhance mobility and functionality for amputees, offering them a better quality of life.
  3. Sanitation and Disinfection Robots
    • These robots use ultraviolet-C (UV-C) light or hydrogen peroxide vapour (HPV) to disinfect hospital rooms and critical areas.
  4. Medical Transportation Robots
    • Automating the delivery of supplies, medications, and meals to patients, improving efficiency in healthcare facilities.

Challenges in Robotic Healthcare

Despite its immense potential, robotic healthcare systems face several challenges:

  • High Initial Cost: The setup cost for robotic systems can be prohibitively expensive for many healthcare providers.
  • Skill and Training Gaps: Operating advanced robotic systems requires specialized training, which is currently limited.
  • Ethical Concerns: Questions about accountability for errors and reliability of systems remain significant.
  • Patient Trust: Building confidence in patients to accept robotic interventions is another hurdle.

The Future of Healthcare Robotics

The success of SSI Mantra demonstrates India’s growing prowess in medical robotics, opening the door to better accessibility and precision in surgeries. With continued advancements and solutions to the associated challenges, robotics is set to transform global healthcare delivery.
