This simply isn't true. Haptic feedback is not necessary to do safe surgery. I think from a sales perspective, it would be great if TItan can use this along with being single port as part of what makes them different. Ask transenterix how banking on haptic feedback has worked out for them. I do robotic surgeries every week without haptic feedback. While I wish I could blame "vessel and nerve" injuries on the robot, it is simply surgeon error. Millions of robotic surgeries have been safely performed without haptic feedback. Tissues dissect predictably when in the right tissue plane. The human brain can fill in with its own haptic feedback when one has 3D vision and coordination of instrument and hand movements with predicted tissue change.
