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.

Sensory Subtraction in Robot-Assisted Surgery: Fingertip Skin Deformation Feedback to Ensure Safety and Improve Transparency in Bimanual Haptic Interaction

TL;DR: A novel approach to force feedback in robot-assisted surgery by substituting haptic stimuli, composed of a kinesthetic component and a skin deformation, with cutaneous stimuli only, which shows improved performance in terms of completion time, force exerted, and total displacement of the rings with respect to two popular sensory substitution techniques.

Deep Residual Learning for Instrument Segmentation in Robotic Surgery

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on binary instrument segmentation, where the objective is to label every pixel as instrument or background and instrument part segmentation where different semantically separate parts of the instrument are labeled.
