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.

Mr-compatible biopsy needle with enhanced tip force sensing

TL;DR: An instrumented biopsy needle that provides physicians the capability to sense interaction forces directly at the tip of the needle's inner stylet is described, which is suitable for MR-guided procedures and has increased tip sensitivity to axial forces.

Reviewing the technological challenges associated with the development of a laparoscopic palpation device

TL;DR: The state‐of‐the‐art in laparoscopic palpation devices (LPDs) is reviewed with particular focus on device mechanisms, sensors and data analysis, and the challenges that must be overcome to create effective LPD systems that measure and display haptic information to the surgeon for improved intraoperative assessment.

Behavioral Characteristics of Manual Palpation to Localize Hard Nodules in Soft Tissues

TL;DR: Simulations on soft-tissue palpation show that particular stress-velocity patterns during tissue probing lead to constructive dynamic interactions between the probe and the tissue, enhancing the detection and localization of hard nodules in silicone phantoms and ex-vivo porcine organs.
