[0020] Tissue contact detection systems and methods are described herein. As will be described in more detail below, the tissue contact detection system can track the temperature of surgical instruments included in a surgical system for surgery over time during a surgical procedure. Based on the tracked temperature of the surgical instrument, the tissue contact detection system may determine that the temperature of the surgical instrument has changed from a first temperature to a second temperature that has changed from the first temperature by at least a predetermined amount. Based on the determination that the temperature of the surgical instrument changes from the first temperature to the second temperature, the tissue contact detection system may determine that the surgical instrument is in physical contact with the patient tissue. In response to determining that the surgical instrument is in physical contact with the patient tissue, the tissue contact detection system may...
