SS Innovations International Inc. (SSII), the pioneers behind India’s first indigenously developed surgical robotic system, continued its nationwide MantraM ‘Made-in-India’ Surgical Robot Yatra with a focused three-city showcase across Bihar. The initiative covered RDJ Medical College in Muzaffarpur, Netaji Subhas Medical College in Bihta, and Ruban Hospital in Patna, reinforcing SSII’s mission to democratise access to advanced surgical robotics.
Hands-On Robotic Surgery Training Begins in Muzaffarpur
As per the press release, the Bihar leg of the Yatra commenced on January 21, 2026, at RDJ Medical College, Muzaffarpur. Here, surgeons, gynaecologists, and medical faculty actively participated in live demonstrations and hands-on training sessions using the Mantra 3.0 Surgical Robotic System. Through interactive learning, clinicians gained first-hand exposure to robotic precision, enhanced ergonomics, and improved surgical control.
Dr. P. N. Prasad, GI & Laparoscopic Surgeon at RDJ Medical College, noted that early exposure to robotic-assisted surgery plays a critical role in strengthening surgical education, especially beyond metropolitan centres.
Expanding Robotic Education at Bihta Medical College
Subsequently, on January 22, 2026, the MantraM Mobile Simulation Unit reached Netaji Subhas Medical College, Bihta. The showcase was inaugurated by Krishna Murari Ji, Managing Director of the hospital, along with Dr. Nirmal Kumar Sinha, Emeritus Surgeon. Faculty from surgery and gynaecology departments actively engaged in immersive demonstrations, underscoring the importance of bridging conventional surgical training with next-generation robotic care—particularly in Tier 2 and Tier 3 regions.
Precision Surgery Spotlight at Ruban Hospital, Patna
The Yatra concluded on January 23, 2026, at Ruban Hospital, Patna, a leading multi-specialty centre in Bihar. Senior clinicians from surgery, gynaecology, and urology explored how robotic-assisted surgery can enhance precision, reduce surgeon fatigue, and improve outcomes in high-volume hospital settings. The session highlighted the growing relevance of indigenous robotic platforms in routine clinical practice.
SSII Reaffirms Commitment to Democratising Robotic Surgery
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Vishwa Srivastava, CEO (APAC), SS Innovations International, stated that the MantraM Yatra aims to take advanced robotic surgery education directly to medical colleges and hospitals across Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. Through real-time simulations and hands-on exposure, SSII continues to build surgeon confidence and readiness for precision-led surgical care.
Mobile Innovation Designed for Accessibility
Notably, SSII custom-engineered the MantraM Mobile Simulation Unit to function reliably in remote and underserved areas. The unit features a reinforced base, actuator-based patient-side carts, stabilised robotic arms, backup power systems, and safe-access ramps—ensuring seamless training and operational stability.
Looking Ahead: Making Robotic Surgery Standard Care
As SSII looks ahead to 2026, democratising robotic surgery remains its core mandate. The company envisions a future where robotic-assisted surgery becomes standard care rather than a premium offering. By integrating affordability, AI-driven systems, real-time analytics, telesurgery capabilities, and reusable instrumentation, SSII continues to lead India’s transformation toward accessible, high-quality surgical care—irrespective of geography.
