I am curious how these can work so well without any haptic feedback? That seems such a critical component of any surgery.

They have been chasing haptic feedback for years. Tough problem but they are close to getting it good enough to fan out widely. In the meanwhile, the doctors who've been using the technology for a long time have replaced tactile feedback with intuition based on the incredible 3d high-definition optics they have along with the 10-1 motion of the 360 degree wristed instruments. Their brains actually fill in the tactile feedback for them. It's pretty amazing.

This is amazing how well surgeons have adapted to this.
