FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN – 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’s subsidiary, the SS International Centre for Robotics Surgery (“SSICRS”), has graduated its first class in a specialized training course designed to provide surgeons and other healthcare professionals with classroom instruction and hands-on learning in robotic-assisted cardiac surgery using the advanced SSi Mantra surgical robotic system (the “SSi Mantra”) at SSICRS’s facilities at the Company’s headquarters in Gurugram, India.
An inaugural class of 33 participants from seven countries graduated from Cardiac Robotic Surgery Training, the opening course in SSICRS’s new training program. The course featured 16 distinguished international faculty members to create a global platform for education, collaboration, and innovation in robotic cardiac surgery. Training covered robotic procedures such as totally endoscopic coronary artery bypasses, left internal mammary artery bypasses, atrial septal defects, and mitral valve surgery. The course consisted of live surgical demonstrations, hands-on robotic training, virtual video sessions, scientific discussions, and knowledge exchange.
Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of SS Innovations, commented, “We congratulate the graduates of SSICRS’s inaugural course, Cardiac Robotic Surgery Training, and look forward to shaping the future of robotic surgery with ongoing immersive multi-specialty training courses. We are positioning SSICRS as one of the world’s premier educational institutes for robotic surgery. SSICRS brings together top-tier faculty, modern lecture halls, state-of-the-art labs, and the advanced SSi Mantra surgical robotic system to train global healthcare professionals in robotic surgery. SSICRS’s balance of classroom theory and lab training is designed to deliver nuanced skills and smarter, safer surgical robotic care. SSICRS strives to democratize robotic surgery education for the benefit of all practitioners and patients, regardless of location, and we look forward to providing continuous specialized learning and mentorship opportunities.”
SSICRS’s ongoing training program will consist of numerous condensed, five-day courses that focus on multi-specialty learning opportunities across cardiac, urologic, gynecologic, thoracic, colorectal, gastrointestinal, and general surgery, among other procedures, leveraging the SSi Mantra platform as a training tool.
International members of SSICRS’s faculty include:
Dr. Husam Balkhy, The University of Chicago Medicine and Biological Sciences (United States)
Dr. T Sloane Guy, Georgia Heart Institute (United States)
Dr. Frank Van Praet, OLV Clinic (Belgium)
Dr. Rakesh M. Suri, Corewell Health (United States)
Dr. Jae Won Lee, Asan Medical Center (South Korea)
Dr. Gianluca Torregrossa, Cleveland Clinic (United States)
Dr. Nirav Patel, Lenox Hill Hospital (United States)
Dr. Danny Ramzy, Memorial Hermann — Memorial City Medical Center (United States)
SSICRS’s facilities feature modern lecture halls for holding interactive sessions, case discussions and expert talks as well as state-of-the-art training labs that mirror real-world operating rooms and surgical conditions. During lab sessions, participants utilize the SSi Mantra surgical robotic system for performing mock procedures on tissue models and practicing instrument handling, suturing, and dissection on synthetic models. Tele-proctoring, engineering-integrated learning and live surgery observations add value to the curriculum. Additionally, SSICRS offers separate online modules that complement in-person classes with flexible, self-paced learning, pre-training sessions, recorded lectures, quizzes, and ongoing support.
