SS Innovations’ Training Arm Graduates First Class of 33 Cardiac Robotic Surgeons
SSII•SS Innovations’ India-based training arm SSICRS graduated 33 participants from seven countries in its inaugural cardiac robotic surgery course using the SSi Mantra system. The program featured 16 international faculty and covered procedures including endoscopic coronary bypasses, atrial septal defect repair and mitral valve surgery.
1. Inaugural Graduation
SSICRS conducted its first Cardiac Robotic Surgery Training course at its Gurugram, India headquarters, graduating 33 participants from seven countries under the SSi Mantra robotic system. Sixteen international faculty members led sessions ranging from live surgical demonstrations to hands-on console practice.
2. Course Structure and Curriculum
The five-day program included live demos of totally endoscopic coronary artery bypasses, left internal mammary artery bypasses, atrial septal defect repairs and mitral valve surgery, complemented by virtual video sessions, scientific discussions and engineering-integrated lab training on synthetic models.
3. Future Multi-Specialty Training
SSICRS will roll out ongoing condensed courses across cardiac, urologic, gynecologic, thoracic and general surgery, leveraging the modular SSi Mantra platform and tele-proctoring capabilities to democratize robotic surgery education globally.
