Abstract
Surgical feedback systems and methods include a surgical tool having a functional tool and a handle for manipulation by a surgeon in a surgical environment. At least one sensor connected to the surgical tool generates a signal indicative of an acoustic signal and/or a vibration signal generated by the functional tool. The signal may be modified and supplied to an output device.
