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 a robot-assisted heart procedure was successfully performed with the SSi Mantra surgical robotic system (the "SSi Mantra") across approximately 12,500 miles (20,000 kilometers) of fiber network distance between Guyana and India, making it the world's longest-distance robotic telesurgery ever conducted. Prior to this historic event, the longest-distance robotic telesurgery spanned from Strasbourg, France to Indore, India with a communication line distance of approximately 6,250 miles (10,000 kilometers) utilizing the SSi Mantra. To date, 22 cardiac telesurgeries have been successfully performed using the SSi Mantra, the only surgical robotic system globally that has been used for cardiac telesurgery.

The historic procedure connected IRCAD India, Indore with Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) in Guyana, where the Company's Chief Executive Officer, cardiac surgeon Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, remotely performed a Left Internal Mammary Artery (LIMA) takedown using the SSi MantrAsana tele-surgeon console (the "SSi MantrAsana").

For the historic intercontinental procedure, the patient-side robotic setup was stationed at Sri Aurobindo Institute of Medical Science in Indore, India, where the robotic arms and surgical instruments precisely replicated Dr. Srivastava's hand movements from approximately 12,500 miles (20,000 kilometers) away. The system functioned with a network latency of 290-300 milliseconds, allowing communication between both locations during the surgery. In India, the surgery was supported by Dr. Lalit Malik, Chief Cardiac Surgeon at Manipal Hospitals Jaipur, Dr. Ram Shukla, Consultant Cardiac Surgeon at Bhandari Hospital and Research Center, and Dr. Mohit Bhandari, Bariatric and Metabolic Surgeon and President of IRCAD India.
