Among the 71 surgeons (95%) who were not using robotic technology, the barriers to adoption (from most important to less important) were lack of skill or experience with robotic technology (mean score, 2.56 ± 1.84), followed by the lack of referral of patients with hybrid or single-vessel disease from cardiologists (2.81 ± 1.76), the need for more support and learning opportunities (e.g., hands-on courses, online courses; 3.44 ± 1.98), and more data to support the efficacy and safety of robotic coronary surgery (3.63 ± 2.22). Moreover, 38 surgeons (50%) expressed a willingness to consider robotic coronary surgery if industry provided appropriate devices such as stabilizers and automated anastomotic devices.
