Billroth Hospitals has officially launched its Institute of Robotic Surgery, a major boost to its surgical capabilities, offering advanced robot-assisted procedures across multiple specialties.
The new centre will deploy the SSi Mantra 3 — an India-made, next-generation surgical robot developed by SS Innovations. The system features 3 to 5 modular robotic arms and supports over 40 endo-surgical instruments, giving surgeons flexible and precise control during complex operations.
Robotic-assisted surgeries at Billroth will cover a broad range of specialties including oncology, gastrointestinal, urology, thoracic, gynaecology, and complex general surgery. The hospital expects to perform intricate procedures such as liver and pancreas surgery, bile duct exploration, complex hernia and diaphragmatic repairs, metabolic/bariatric procedures, hysterectomy, and advanced urological operations like prostate, kidney and bladder surgeries.
The robotic platform is designed to enhance surgical precision, reduce blood loss, and facilitate faster patient recovery with shorter hospital stays. The ergonomic console, 4K 3D visualisation, and improved instrument dexterity are expected to make even complicated surgeries safer and more efficient than traditional methods.
By integrating the Institute of Robotic Surgery into its existing multi-specialty framework, Billroth Hospitals aims to democratise access to high-precision, minimally invasive care — potentially transforming treatment outcomes for patients needing complex surgeries across south India.
