Fortis Hospital Jalandhar Unveils One of the World’s Most Advanced Robotic Surgery Systems, Expanding Access to Precision Healthcare in Punjab

Jalandhar, 31 January 2026: Fortis Hospital Jalandhar has strengthened its advanced surgical care Infrastructure with the launch of state-of-the-art Robotic Surgery service—SSI Mantra 3. This marks a significant clinical milestone in the hospital’s commitment to delivering precision-led, minimally invasive surgical procedures for patients. With this introduction, Fortis Jalandhar brings advanced, affordable and accessible robotic-assisted procedures closer to the community, reinforcing its commitment to clinical excellence and patient-centric care.

The SSI Mantra 3 is a next-generation, multi-arm, modular robotic surgery system equipped with advanced 3D HD vision, enabling surgeons to perform complex procedures with enhanced accuracy, stability, and visual clarity. Designed to support a wide range of surgical specialties – including General Surgery, Oncology, Bariatric, Neurology, Cardiology, ENT, Urology, Gynecology and Head & Neck Oncology - the platform allows greater flexibility and ergonomics during surgery while prioritizing patient safety and outcomes.

Robotic surgery represents a major leap forward in minimally invasive treatment, enabling surgeons to perform complex procedures with greater precision, enhanced control and improved visualisation. Patients undergoing robotic-assisted surgery benefit from less pain, minimal blood loss, reduced trauma, lower risk of infection and faster recovery, allowing them to return to daily activities sooner.

Speaking at the launch, Dr. Harmeet Paul Singh, Director – General, Laparoscopic, GI and Bariatric Surgery, Fortis Hospital Jalandhar said, “The launch of robotic surgery at Fortis Hospital Jalandhar marks a transformative step in advancing minimally invasive procedures for gastrointestinal and bariatric conditions. Robotic-assisted surgery offers unmatched precision, better ergonomics and enhanced visualisation, enabling surgeons to perform complex procedures with greater accuracy while significantly reducing patient discomfort, recovery time and hospital stay. This technology empowers us to deliver safer surgeries and improved long-term outcomes, bringing world-class surgical care closer to our community.”

Dr Arun Kumar Sharma, Consultant, Surgical Oncology, Fortis Hospital Jalandhar said, “The introduction of robotic surgery at Fortis Hospital Jalandhar represents a significant advancement in cancer care delivery in the region. Robotic-assisted technology enables surgeons to perform complex oncological procedures with exceptional precision, improved dexterity and superior visualisation, which is critical for achieving optimal tumour clearance while preserving surrounding healthy tissue. This translates into reduced surgical trauma, faster recovery and better quality of life for cancer patients. By integrating advanced robotics into our surgical ecosystem, we are bringing world-class, patient-centric cancer care closer to the community.”

Dr Onkar Singh, Consultant – Urology and Kidney Transplant Surgery, Fortis Hospital Jalandhar said, “Robotic surgery has revolutionised the way complex urological and kidney transplant procedures are performed. With superior precision and control, it allows for delicate dissections, minimal blood loss and faster post-operative recovery. The availability of robotic-assisted urological surgery at Fortis Jalandhar ensures that patients across Punjab and neighbouring regions can now access advanced, globally accepted surgical care without the need to travel to metro cities.”

Dr Ankush Mehta, Facility Director, Fortis Hospital Jalandhar said, “Robotic surgery is being utilised across multiple specialties, offering advantages such as shorter hospital stays, early discharge and better post-operative outcomes. The hospital’s experienced team of surgeons has been specially trained to leverage robotic technology while maintaining the highest standards of safety and care. With this launch, Fortis Hospital Jalandhar further strengthens its position as a leading tertiary care centre in the region, ensuring that patients no longer need to travel to metro cities to access advanced surgical solutions.”
