Claim 13:
14. A surgical system, comprising:
a surgical grasping tool configured to grasp tissue; and
a control system operably coupled to the surgical grasping tool, wherein the control system is configured to:
set a retraction force threshold of the surgical grasping tool;
set a displacement threshold range of the surgical grasping tool; and
operate the surgical grasping tool in:
a first mode, in which the surgical grasping tool applies a substantially constant retraction force at the retraction force threshold; and
a second mode, in which the substantially constant retraction force is reduced to less than the retraction force threshold to maintain the surgical grasping tool within the displacement threshold range.
