    Area of Science:

    • Robotic Surgery
    • Surgical Technology
    • Human-Computer Interaction

    Background:

    • Bone conduction headphones offer non-obstructive auditory feedback.
    • Integrating auditory feedback into robotic surgery can enhance surgeon performance.
    • Minimizing surgeon distraction is critical for effective robotic procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of bone conduction headphones for delivering haptic force feedback in robotic surgery.
    • To compare the impact of auditory, visual, and combined feedback on surgical task performance.
    • To assess the potential of bone conduction headphones to provide unobtrusive surgical feedback.

    Main Methods:

    • Bone conduction headphones were paired with a force sensor attached to a suture pad.
    • Four participants performed 25 sutures under different feedback conditions: no feedback, auditory feedback, visual feedback, and combined feedback.
    • Surgical performance was measured based on task completion and applied force representation.

    Main Results:

    • Bone conduction headphones demonstrated noticeable improvements in surgical task performance compared to no feedback.
    • The most significant improvements were observed when participants received combined auditory and visual feedback.
    • Auditory feedback, delivered via bone conduction headphones, proved effective in enhancing surgical precision.

    Conclusions:

    • Bone conduction headphones are a viable tool for delivering auditory force feedback in robotic surgery.
    • Combined auditory and visual feedback offers the greatest benefit for surgical performance.
    • Auditory feedback has a significant role in robotic surgery, and bone conduction headphones provide a non-distracting method for its implementation.
