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.

Tying and Tearing in Robotic and Laparoscopic Intracorporeally Hand-Sewn Ileocolic Anastomoses. A Propensity Score-Matched Prospective Study

TL;DR: It is suggested that torn sutures may be the result of a lack of tactile feedback rather than the presence of a learning curve in robotic surgery on intracorporeal suturing.

Force sensing for remote robotic laparoscopic surgery

TL;DR: The paper concludes by explaining how the force feedback channel is combined with a visual feedback channel to enable a surgeon to perform a two-handed surgical procedure better on a remote patient by more accurately controlling a pair of robot arms via a computer network.
