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.

Robotically steering flexible needles

TL;DR: The proposed system is adapted to enable clinicians to directly control the insertion procedure while receiving navigation cues from the control algorithm through a combination of haptic (vibratory) and visual feedback to the operator who controls the needle for steering.

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic imaging identifies early biochemical markers of tissue damage

TL;DR: This work proposed to identify the early biochemical markers associated with physical tissue damage from applied forces, thus not requiring transcriptional and translational protein synthesis as traditional immunohistochemistry does and showed clear biochemical changes associated with tissue damage.
