Q How can surgical robotics influence the outcomes in complex surgeries like cardiac and thoracic surgery and how is SS Innovations products impacting the medical device industry? Dr. Sudhir Srivastava: The advent of robotic surgery has been a pivotal development in the field of medicine, revolutionizing the way complex surgical procedures are approached and ex- ecuted. The integration of robotic surgical systems, particularly in cardiac and thoracic surgeries, has provided surgeons with an unprecedented level of support, enhancing precision and accessibility during operations. These sophisticated systems are equipped with robotic arms, capable of performing pre - cise movements, thereby significantly reducing the margin for human error. This precision is crucial when performing intricate tasks that demand higher accuracy. Moreover, the assistance of robotics in surgery allows for eas - ier access to anatomical regions that are typically challenging to reach. Hand tremors are filtered, ensuring greater stability and contributing to the overall safety of the surgical procedure. The state-of-the-art 3D 4K visualization technology that comes with the robotic systems further augment the surgeon’s ability to navigate through intricate anatomical structures. This is par- ticularly beneficial in managing adult congenital heart compli - cations, where in-depth perception is vital for successful navi - gation and intervention. In addition to the enhanced visual capabilities, robotic surger - ies leverage minimally invasive techniques that have shown Dr. Sudhir Srivastava Founder, Chairman and CEO, SS Innovations PHARMA INDUSTRIALINDIA · MAY-JUN 24 21 INTERVIEW The integration of AI and machine learning into future versions of the SSi Mantra, the innovative surgical robotic system from SS Innovations, promises to revolutionize surgical procedures and enhance the overall efficiency and effectiveness of medical operations, explains Dr. Sudhir Srivastava , Founder, Chairman and CEO, SS Innovations, pioneer in robotic cardiac surgery and the brain behind the SSI Mantra System, popularly known as the Father of Surgical Robotics in India in his recent interaction with Pharma Industrial India.
