The operating room is fertile ground for creativity: problem solving is common, different surgical tasks impose particular constraints, and a wide range of tools are available. The introduction of telemanipulated robots in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) has impacted the work of surgeons and their teams in terms of communication, use of perceptual senses, social structure, roles among other things. But do they also impact creativity? I present preliminary results of data re-analysis from an earlier field study focusing on creative tool use. Results suggest that current surgical robots limit creativity as they impose hard constraints: they remove haptic feedback, isolate the surgeon, and are built in rigid ways.
