SS Innovations to Host SMRSC 2026 in New Delhi, India from April 9-11, 2026
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., April 07, 2026 (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 Company is hosting the Global Multi-Specialty Robotic Surgery Conference ("SMRSC 2026") in New Delhi, India from April 9-11, 2026.
In this third installment of the event, SMRSC 2026 will bring together distinguished surgeons, global thought leaders and prominent innovators to discuss and shape the future of robotic and minimally invasive surgery. Attendance at SMRSC 2026 is expected to surpass that of last year's conference, which drew more than 1,400 attendees and 600 virtual participants from 17 nations.
Among this year's conference highlights:
- Live Telesurgeries – During SMRSC 2026, more than 20 live telesurgeries will be performed with the SSi Mantra surgical robotic system, spanning multiple specialties and led by top experts in robotic surgery. These live demonstrations will provide a platform to explore critical aspects of telesurgery, including connectivity, latency management, cybersecurity, and clinical protocols, further strengthening the foundation for widespread adoption.
- SSi MantrAsana Tele Surgeon Console – Among the live telesurgeries to be conducted, several procedures will utilize the SSi MantrAsana Tele Surgeon Console, a compact self-contained chair-based version of the larger SSi Mantra surgeon command center that enables portability, requires less space, and facilitates the performance of telesurgeries from a wide range of settings including physician offices.
- SSi Vimana Aero Drone System (the "SSi Vimana Aero") – One of the innovations to be showcased at SMRSC 2026 is the SSi Vimana Aero, a drone deployed trauma surgery system currently under development. The SSi Vimana Aero is designed to bring expert robotic surgical care directly to wounded soldiers in active battle zones, bridging the critical time gap between initial point of injury and eventual medical evacuation from the frontlines. Deployed via a heavy-lift autonomous drone, the SSi Vimana Aero lands in proximity to the casualty and deploys two miniature robotic arms with seven degrees of freedom. A trauma surgeon remotely operates the SSi Vimana Aero, which is equipped with 5mm surgical instruments, through an SSi Mantra surgeon command center. The SSi Vimana Aero platform is designed to address hemorrhaging, wound repair, chest decompression, shrapnel extraction, and field suturing, among other procedures, to help stabilize patients until evacuation teams arrive.
- Project Operion – An interactive window into the future of surgical robotic technologies, Project Operion will touch on: enhanced access and training beyond hospital walls; critical environments involving mobile high-tech surgical infrastructure; and telesurgery integration combining real-time connectivity with robotic precision to deliver long-distance healthcare. This immersive display of the "Operating Room of the Future," showcases the benefits of a mobile operating room platform that is entirely on wheels.
- MantraM Mobile Robotic Telesurgery Unit (the "MantraM bus") – The MantraM bus, which is designed to bring specialized surgical robotic care to the patient and training to the medical professional regardless of location, will be on display at SMRSC 2026. The MantraM bus provides an opportunity to overcome traditional cost and distance hurdles, enabling delivery of world-class surgical care to underserved patient communities.
- Multispecialty and Cardiac-Focused Sessions – Live surgical demonstrations and panel discussions at this year's event will span specialties, including urology, thoracic, gastroenterology, head & neck, gynecology, colorectal, general and pediatric, among others, with separate cardiac-focused breakout sessions.
- Distinguished Guests and Presenters – Renowned surgeons, medical professionals and educators from around the globe will be attending SMRSC 2026, including the Company's Vice-Chairman, Dr. Fred Moll, who has been widely recognized as the "Father of Robotic Surgery." Other guests of honor include Sri Madhusudan Sai, a global humanitarian and founder of a worldwide free healthcare mission; Dr. Naresh Treahan, Managing Director, Medanta; Dr. Mylswamy Annadurai, Former Director, ISRO Satellite Center; and Dr. Ashutosh Tewari, Chairman, Department of Urology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of SS Innovations, commented, "We are thrilled to host SMRSC 2026 this week in New Delhi, where global experts in surgical robotic care will convene to discuss innovation and the future of our field. From live telesurgeries and robotic surgeries to demonstrations of exciting new technologies, this year's event will be our largest and will continue to elevate the theme of decentralizing and democratizing access to surgical robotic care."
