Evaluate theoretical and practical training of thoracic surgeons-in-training in robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) in France. A survey was distributed to thoracic surgeons-in-training in France from November 2022-February 2023. We recruited 101 thoracic surgeons-in-training (77% response rate). Over half had access to a surgical robotics system at their current institution. Most (74%) considered robotic surgery training essential, 90% had attended a robotic procedure. Only 18% had performed a complete thoracic robotic procedure as the main operator. 42% of fellows and 6% of residents had performed a complete RATS procedure. Of the remaining surgeons, 23% had performed part of a robotic procedure. Theoretical courses and simulation are well developed; 72% of residents and 91% of fellows had undergone simulation training in the operating room, at training facilities, or during congress amounting to < 10 hours (for 73% of the fellows and residents), 10-20 hours (17%), 20-30 hours (8%), or > 30 hours (3%). Access to RATS was ≥1 day/week in 71% of thoracic departments with robotic access. Fellows spent a median of 2 (IQR 1-3) semesters in departments performing robotic surgery. Compared with low-volume centers, trainees at high-volume centers performed significantly more complete robotic procedures (47% vs 13%; p = 0.001), as did fellows compared with residents. Few young surgeons perform complete thoracic robotic procedures during practical training, and access remains center dependent. Opportunities increase with seniority and exposure; however, increasing availability of robotic devices, theoretical formation, and simulation courses will increase opportunities.
