Bhopal | July 1, 2025 — On the occasion of Doctors' Day, Her Health Hospital in Bhopal took a historic step in advancing women’s healthcare by launching India’s first indigenously developed surgical tele-robotic system – ‘SSI Mantra’. The breakthrough technology was unveiled during a press conference by its inventor, world-renowned robotic cardiothoracic surgeon and founder of SS Innovations, Dr. Sudhir Srivastava.
This state-of-the-art robotic system is set to transform the treatment of complex gynecological conditions such as fibroids, endometriosis, hysterectomy (uterus removal), and uterine cancer, offering higher surgical precision, minimal invasiveness, and faster recovery.
Dr. Sudhir Srivastava to Prativad.com: “100% Accuracy So Far, Responsibility Lies with the Surgeon”
In an exclusive conversation with Prativad.com, Dr. Srivastava stated:
“So far, all tele-surgeries performed by us have demonstrated 100% accuracy. If there is ever a mistake during a tele-surgery, the responsibility lies with the doctor — not the technology.”
His remarks underscore the reliability of tele-surgery and clarify that robotic systems act as advanced tools, but the human surgeon remains fully in control.
“Less Incisions, Less Pain, Better Outcomes” — Dr. Priya Bhave Chittawar
Dr. Priya Bhave Chittawar, Director of Her Health Hospital, said:
“Many women delay treatment out of fear of surgery. With SSI Mantra, we can now intervene in time — with smaller incisions, minimal pain, and far superior clinical outcomes.”
Connecting to the Future: Tele-Surgery and Tele-Mentoring
Beyond advanced surgical procedures, the SSI Mantra system is equipped for remote surgical guidance (tele-surgery) and real-time mentoring (tele-mentoring) by expert doctors, enabling specialized care to reach even the remotest corners of the country.
Dr. Srivastava emphasized:
“We developed SSI Mantra with the vision that no patient should be deprived of expert care, regardless of their location. Tele-surgery and tele-mentoring represent the next frontier in modern healthcare.”
Key Benefits in Women’s Health with SSI Mantra:
-
High precision removal of fibroids and endometriosis
-
Reduced blood loss and surgical complications in cancer and hysterectomy cases
-
Possibility to preserve fertility in select patients
-
Smaller incisions, less pain, and quicker recovery
-
Access to expert surgical guidance from anywhere in India
Compassion Meets Technology
Featuring an open-face console, modular robotic arms, and full operating room vision, the SSI Mantra system is uniquely suited for gynecological procedures. The hospital plans to expand its use into complex surgeries, reproductive health, and gynecologic oncology.
Dr. Bhave Chittawar added:
“We are merging compassion with precision through technology. With SSI Mantra, we’re not only performing surgeries — we’re also training the next generation of doctors remotely across India.”
