Summary

This study watches how force feedback instruments work during robot-assisted surgeries with the da Vinci 5 system. About 200 adults having hernia, colorectal, thoracic, gynecologic, or partial kidney removal surgery will take part. The goal is to see how these tools help surgeons control the force they apply to tissue, potentially making operations safer and more precise.
