What is the concept of haptic feedback in robotic surgery, and how do haptic-enabled surgical systems provide surgeons with tactile sensation, force feedback, and spatial awareness during minimally invasive procedures for improved precision, control, and patient outcomes?

Haptic feedback in robotic surgery involves providing surgeons with tactile feedback and force sensation during minimally invasive procedures. Haptic-enabled surgical systems use force sensors, tactile sensors, and feedback algorithms to simulate the sense of touch, allowing surgeons to feel tissue properties, instrument interactions, and anatomical structures, enhancing their dexterity, accuracy, and situational awareness in performing delicate surgical tasks with robotic assistance.
