Background: Robotic paediatric surgery is currently in its infancy in Australia and New Zealand. There are questions around incorporation of robotic surgery into healthcare and how this will impact trainee experience and learning. Methods: A survey was distributed to all paediatric surgery trainees in Australia and New Zealand regarding their current access, experience and attitudes toward robotic surgery training. Results: The survey had a 75% response rate (18/24). The majority of paediatric surgical trainees had worked more than six years in paediatric surgery (10/18, 55%). Most (94%) have either not interacted with a robot, or only at a conference/meeting. One trainee (6%) completed a robotics course, five (28%) had sought them out, and only one (6%) had access to a robotic console in their current training hospital. The majority of trainees (84%) believed Australasia was 5-15 years behind the rest of the world, but believed robotic surgery is likely to be critical to the future of paediatric surgery in Australia and New Zealand. More than half of trainees felt robotics should be incorporated into the structured training curriculum at all levels of training (61%). Nine trainees (53%) thought it would have a positive impact on training; six (35%) trainees being neutral on the topic; and only two felt it may impact negatively (12%). Conclusion: Paediatric surgery trainees in Australia and New Zealand currently have no exposure to robotic surgery. This survey highlights the need for robotics training, in variable formats, to be incorporated into the formal curriculum to ensure better exposure and knowledge prior to its introduction in the public healthcare system, which will likely occur over the next ten years. It is critical existing training requirements are met during this transition phase.
