Adding a force feedback function to robotic surgical systems significantly reduced the maximal force applied to the robotic forceps while maintaining the quality of suturing. The force feedback function did not affect the objectively assessed suturing score but slightly shortened the task accomplishment time in younger surgeons. This suggests that robots with force feedback can facilitate the educational process for novice surgeons, enhancing surgical outcomes.
