TLDR
The designs of existing commercial RMIS systems are not conducive for force feedback, and creative solutions are needed to create compelling tactile feedback systems.
Abstract
Purpose of Review Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS) holds great promise for improving the accuracy and dexterity of a surgeon while minimizing trauma to the patient. However, widespread clinical success with RMIS has been marginal. It is hypothesized that the lack of haptic (force and tactile) feedback presented to the surgeon is a limiting factor. This review explains the technical challenges of creating haptic feedback for robot-assisted surgery and provides recent results that evaluate the effectiveness of haptic feedback in mock surgical tasks.

Multisensory integration weightings underlying haptic feedback in laparoscopic surgery.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the multisensory integration weighting mechanisms that may account for the results in studies investigating haptic feedback in laparoscopic surgery and highlight the need for a much better understanding of how multimodal displays in virtual environments influence human performance.

The Remapping of Peripersonal Space in a Real but Not in a Virtual Environment

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated the plasticity of the peripersonal space (PPS) before and after a real or virtual motor training with a tool and found that the expansion of the PPS only following real-world tool use but not virtual use.
