Football in Spain Association football is the most popular sport in Spain , followed by basketball and bullfighting . Football is a widespread passion among the people of Spain . Football is the sport with the most registered players ( a total of 942,674 of which 898,551 are men and 44,123 women ) , and most registered clubs ( a total of 20,588 ) among all Spanish sport federations according to data issued by the sports administration of Spain 's government in 2016 . In a survey of sports habits of the Spanish population made in 2010 , football was the second most popular recreational sport practised by the population ( 17.9 % ) . A total of 75.9 % of people said they had ever bought tickets to attend a football match . In addition , a total of 67.3 % of the people said that they saw all , almost all , many , or some of the football matches broadcast on television . In another survey made in 2014 , the practice of football decreased to 14 % of the population , being overtaken by other sports , such as running , cycling and swimming for recreation . However , in this survey football was still the sport that interests the majority of Spain 's people ( 48 % ) . A total of 67 % of the population said they were fans or had sympathy for a particular club . In addition , 74.9 % said they watched , whenever possible , the matches broadcast on television regarding their favorite teams ; and 42.4 % had , flags , badges or objects of their favorite teams . Data of this survey confirmed the widespread impression that most of Spain 's people are supporters of Real Madrid ( 37.9 % ) or FC Barcelona ( 25.4 % ) , and the other teams have fewer supporters nationwide , as Atlético de Madrid ( 16.1 % ) , Valencia CF ( 3.5 % ) , Athletic Bilbao ( 3.3 . ) or Sevilla FC ( 3.2 % ) . A relationship between football , politics , identity and attitudes towards regionalism in Spain has also been reported . The Royal Spanish Football Federation ( Spanish : Real Federación Española de Fútbol ) is the national governing body , and it organises two Cup competitions ( the Copa del Rey , and the Supercopa de España ) , and the Spain national football team . The Liga de Fútbol Profesional ( LFP ) ( English : Professional Football League ) , integrated by a total of 42 football clubs , forms part of the Royal Spanish Football Federation ( RFEF ) but has autonomy in its organisation and functioning . It is responsible for the organisation of state football leagues , in coordination with RFEF . The Spanish national football team have won the FIFA World Cup once , and has also been successful in the UEFA European Championship and the Olympic tournament . The biggest success achieved by the Spain national football team was the historic treble winning three tournaments in a row : UEFA European Championship in 2008 , FIFA World Cup in 2010 , and UEFA European Championship in 2012 . The men 's national teams of Spain , in all categories , have won a total of 26 titles in FIFA , UEFA , and Olympic tournaments . The First Division of the Liga de Fútbol Profesional , commonly known in the English - speaking world as La Liga , is one of the strongest football leagues in both Europe and the world . At club level , the Spanish football clubs have won a total of 66 international tournaments . They are the most successful in different current European competitions , such as UEFA Champions League , UEFA Super Cup ( shared ) , and UEFA Europa League ; and they also were the most successful in the extinct Inter-Cities Fairs Cup . The characteristic football style of play developed by FC Barcelona , and later by the Spanish national football team is Tiki - taka . This football style is characterised by possessing the ball for large portions of the game , moving the ball quickly from one player to the next , with short and quick passes , keeping the ball away from your opponent , and then to deliver that killer pass to score goal . Professional football in Spain is a sociocultural event that make a significant contribution to the Spanish economy in terms of both demand and supply . In economic terms , during 2013 professional football generated more than € 7.6 billion including direct , indirect and induced effects , representing 0.75 % of Spanish GPD . Moreover , as a result of financial crisis in the last years , many Spanish football clubs in the top two divisions have been facing serious economic troubles due to pay the bank debts . In addition , the European Union authorities have warned to Spanish authorities in order to halt public funding of debt - ridden clubs . Spain national futsal team is one of the strongest teams in the world , being six times champion in the UEFA Futsal Championship , and two times champion in the FIFA Futsal World Championship .

The oldest football clubs in Spain are Recreativo de Huelva and Sevilla FC . Although Gimnàstic de Tarragona was formed in 1886 , the club did not form an actual football team until 1914 . The first official football game played in Spain took place in Seville on 8 March 1890 at the Tablada Hippodrome . Sevilla FC played against Recreativo de Huelva . With the exception of two Spanish players on the Huelva team and another two players on the Seville team , all the players on both sides were British . Sevilla FC won 2 -- 0 . In the Basque Country during the early 1890s , British shipyard workers and miners formed the Bilbao Football Club and Basque students returning from Britain founded the Athletic Club in 1898 . This early British influence was reflected in the use of English names such as Recreation Club , Athletic Club and Football Club . In Catalonia , which had the most developed industry in Spain , there was an important British colony . The first games played by Britishmen and Catalan people who had studied in the United Kingdom were documented in 1882 in Barcelona . However , the first official and registered football club was Palamós FC ( Costa Brava , North of Catalonia ) in 1898 . The Swiss Hans Gamper founded FC Barcelona on 29 November 1899 . Other clubs were founded in 1900 , such as Sant Andreu , Hispania FC and the Sociedad Española de Football ( one year later the founders changed the name to Real Club Deportivo Español ) . The Catalan Football Federation ( Catalan : Federació Catalana de Futbol ) , responsible for administering football in Catalonia , was the first football association founded in Spain . It was formed on 11 November 1900 as the Football Association of Catalonia ( Catalan : Football Associació de Catalunya ) . The Catalan Football Federation organised the Catalan football championship ( Catalan : Campionat de Catalunya ) that was the first football competition in Spain . In Madrid , the first games were promoted by Institución Libre de Enseñanza ( ILE ) ( English : Free Educational Institution ) , an educational and cultural centre . The first club of Madrid was Football Club Sky , founded in 1897 , but the club separated into two new clubs in 1890 . Then , several clubs also emerged in Madrid , most notably Madrid Football Club , founded in 1902 by Catalan brothers Juan and Carlos Padrós . The Copa del Rey ( English : King 's Cup ) competition was founded in 1903 , one year after a previous football tournament named Coronation Cup . It was Spain 's football national Championship from 1903 until the establishment of the League Championship in 1928 . The Spanish Federation of Football Clubs was formed in 1909 , but there were discrepancies between the member clubs years later , and some of the clubs formed other association called Royal Spanish Union of Clubs of Football . Finally , the two associations reached an agreement and the Royal Spanish Football Federation was founded in 1913 , which allowed the Spanish football to enter in FIFA . In these years , Athletic was the most dominant club in the country , and the first idols in Spain began to appear , like Pichichi and Paulino Alcántara . The Spain national team was created in 1920 on the occasion of the dispute of the Olympic Games in Antwerp . The importance of the success of the Spain national team in the Olympic games , which won the silver medal , was huge in the development of football as mass social event in Spain . The interest on football grew , more people attended to the stadiums , more informations about football appeared in the newspapers , and football was used as element of national prestige and political propaganda . After the Olympic triumph , football was more popular among Spanish fans , the attendances to the stadiums increased , and the pressure of professionalism grew . Spanish football turned professional in 1925 . An agreement between several clubs was made on 23 November 1928 which officially established Spain 's national football division , and the birth of the Spanish League . The first league championship began in 1929 . The Spanish Civil War ( 1936 -- 1939 ) brought disruption to the national competitions . Although the Spanish League was suspended , the Catalan and Valencian clubs continued contesting in the Mediterranean League in early 1937 . Barcelona later toured Mexico and the United States , raising support for the Spanish Republic . The Spanish League and the Cup were restored in the 1939 -- 40 season after Civil War had ended . Francisco Franco 's regime , a fascist political system , began to use football as a propaganda tool for the new regime . In 1941 , as part of his policy of eradicating regional identities , the Franco 's regime banned the use of non-Castilian names . As a result , many clubs that had chosen English prefixes previously , such as Athletic or Football club , had to amend their initial names , for other Castilian ( as Atlético , or Club de Fútbol ) . The Catalan Championship was banned and the Catalan shield taken from FC Barcelona 's badge . Spanish football began to rebuild slowly after the War , but Spain 's isolated international position meant they did not properly re-enter International football until 1950 . Later , Franco 's regime was able to use the football , based on the European triumphs of Real Madrid in the 1950s for political purposes . In this manner , Real Madrid was used as a Spanish brand of success to promote Spain 's image abroad , as well as the pride of being Spanish in the country itself . Spain was selected as host of the 1982 FIFA World Cup . Until the 1984 -- 85 season , the Royal Spanish Football Federation ( RFEF ) was responsible for organizing the league tournament . Since then , the competition was organized by the Liga de Fútbol Profesional ( LFP ) ( English : Professional Football League ) , an independent body which was formed at the initiative of the clubs themselves after disagreements with the RFEF regarding the management professionalization and economic division of the League benefits . Since the entry into force of Spanish Law 10 / 1990 , almost all of the clubs competing professionally in Spain are actually companies under the legal status of sports companies , whose ownership is in the hands of its shareholders . Only three professional clubs ( Athletic Club , Barcelona and Real Madrid ) kept its original structure , such as sports clubs directly controlled by their members . After the appearance of private television in Spain , football clubs hugely increased its income thanks to the lucrative contracts to broadcast matches on television . This allowed them to hire many of the best players in the world , but most of the clubs also increased vastly their spending . In the last years La Liga is living in a big financial turmoil . Although the two big powerful clubs , Real Madrid and Barcelona , are at the top in Forbes ' football rich list , the rest of Spanish clubs are weighed down by a colossal debt around € 4.1 billion . For this reason , most of the clubs had to cut their budgets drastically . Spanish national football team ( La Roja ) ( edit ) Main article : Spain national football team Main article : List of Spain international footballers Within Spain , regional teams , most notably the football team of Catalonia , the football team of Basque Country , and even the football team of Galicia , began to compete against each other from 1915 onwards . Despite not being officially recognised by FIFA , these regional teams still occasionally play friendly games with some national team players playing for both teams . Some autonomous governments and social sectors in the historical communities ( especially in Catalonia and Basque Country ) prefer to call their regional teams as national team , while claiming to participate in international tournaments . The Spain national team , commonly referred to as La selección ( English : The selection ) or La Roja ( English : The Red one ) , made their international debut at the 1920 Olympic Games in Belgium and came away with the silver medal . Since then the Spanish national team has participated in a total of fourteen out twenty FIFA World Cup and nine out fourteen UEFA European Championship . Historically , the Spanish national team did not achieve important results , in terms of trophies or develop an attractive playing style . Surprisingly , this fact contrasted with the huge success obtained by the main Spanish football clubs at the European level . Nevertheless , the triumphs of Spanish national team in 2008 and 2012 European Championship , and in 2010 FIFA World Cup , with an attractive playing style , marked a point of inflection that divided the history of Spanish national football team in two parts . The Spanish national football team has been the winner of FIFA Team of Year in 2008 , 2009 , 2010 , 2011 , 2012 and 2013 , as well as the winner of Laureus World Sports Award for Team of the Year in 2011 . The Spanish national football team have won four trophies in FIFA and UEFA tournaments : one FIFA World Cup in 2010 , and three UEFA European Championship in 1964 , 2008 and 2012 . In addition , it was runner - up in the UEFA European Championship in 1984 and in the FIFA Confederations Cup in 2013 . The Spain national under - 23 team won the gold medal in 1992 Olympic tournament and the silver medal in 2000 . The Spain national football team won the gold medal at the Mediterranean Games in 2005 and 2007 , the silver medal in 1955 , and the bronze medal in 1963 and 1967 . In addition , the honours list includes numerous titles at junior level teams : UEFA European Under - 21 Championship in 1986 , 1998 , 2011 , and 2013 . FIFA U-20 World Cup in 1999 . UEFA European Under - 19 Championship ( formerly Under - 18 ) in 1995 , 2002 , 2004 , 2006 , 2007 , 2011 2012 and 2015 .

Other extinct competitions were the League Cup , the Eva Duarte Cup and the President 's Cup of the Spanish Football Federation . Up to a total of fifteen clubs have been winners of some of the official competitions in Spain at the highest level , and FC Barcelona is the most awarded club with seventy - two national titles , The Spanish football league system consists of several leagues bound together hierarchically by promotion and relegation . In addition , Spanish Royal Federation Cup is a football competition for teams from the Segunda División B , the Tercera División and sometimes from the Preferente Regional who have failed to qualify or have been eliminated in the first round of the Copa del Rey . League ( La Liga ) ( edit ) Main article : La Liga Main article : List of Spanish football champions Main article : Football records in Spain In April 1927 , Álvaro Trejo , a director at Arenas Club de Getxo , first proposed the idea of a national league in Spain . After much debate about the size of the league and who would take part , the RFEF eventually agreed on the ten teams who would form the first Primera División in 1928 . FC Barcelona , Real Madrid , Athletic Bilbao , Real Sociedad , Arenas Club de Getxo and Real Unión were all selected as previous winners of the Copa del Rey . Athletic Madrid , RCD Español and CE Europa qualified as Copa del Rey runners - up and Racing de Santander qualified through a knock - out competition against Sevilla FC . Barcelona was the first winner of the competition . Only three of the founding clubs , Real Madrid , Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao , have never been relegated from the Primera Division ; six other clubs have never been below the top two tiers : Sevilla , Real Sociedad , Sporting de Gijón , Valencia , Espanyol and Atlético Madrid . Historically , some of the best football players in the world have played in the Spanish football league , including Ricardo Zamora , Josep Samitier , Alfredo Di Stéfano , Ladislav Kubala , Ferenc Puskás , Raymond Kopa , Héctor Rial , Telmo Zarra , Francisco Gento , Luis Suárez , Johan Cruyff , Diego Maradona , Bernd Schuster , Andoni Zubizarreta , Michael Laudrup , Hristo Stoichkov , Romário , Zinedine Zidane , Rivaldo , Ronaldo , Raúl , Ronaldinho , Carles Puyol , Xavi , Andrés Iniesta , Iker Casillas , Cristiano Ronaldo , and Lionel Messi , among others . La Liga de Fútbol Profesional ( LFP ) is the association responsible for administering the two professional football leagues in Spain . Professional Spanish football is divided into the Primera División ( First Division ) and Segunda División ( Second Division ) . The First Division is also known as Liga Santander , for sponsorship reasons , while the Second Division is officially called Liga 1 2 3 . The First Division consists of 20 professional teams and the Second Division has 22 . There are also lower Spanish national football divisions . Every year , the three lowest ranked teams in the First Division pass to the Second Division and the top three ranked teams in the Second Division pass to the First Division . La Liga is one of the most popular professional sports leagues in the world . The average stadium attendance was 21,000 in the 2014 -- 15 season , with a range of average attendance from 4,780 people in the stadium with the lowest average attendance to 77,632 people in the stadium with highest average attendance . In La Liga 's 89 - year history ( with the exeception of the three seasons that the league was suspended due to the civil war ) , Barcelona and Real Madrid have won 55 titles between them . Barcelona and Real Madrid are two fierce rivals clubs , and the matches between both two clubs are named as El Clásico . Those football matches are one of the most viewed sports events in the world . Although a total of 62 teams have competed in La Liga since its inception , only nine clubs have won the title : Real Madrid ( 33 ) , Barcelona ( 25 ) , Atlético Madrid ( 10 ) , Athletic Bilbao ( 8 ) , Valencia ( 6 ) , Real Sociedad ( 2 ) , Sevilla ( 1 ) , Deportivo de La Coruña ( 1 ) , and Real Betis ( 1 ) . King 's Cup ( Copa del Rey ) ( edit ) Main article : Copa del Rey Main article : Football records in Spain In 1902 , Carlos Padrós , later president of Madrid FC ( later to be Real Madrid ) , suggested a football competition to celebrate the coronation of Alfonso XIII . Four other teams entered the Copa del Ayuntamiento de Madrid , which would later develop into the Copa del Rey ( English : `` King 's Cup '' ) . These included Barcelona , Club Español de Fútbol , Club Bizcaya and New Foot - Ball de Madrid . The competition featured the first recorded game between Barcelona and Madrid FC , with the former emerging 3 -- 1 winners . Club Bizcaya , which consisted of players from both Basque teams , eventually beat Barcelona in the final . Alfonso XIII subsequently became the patron of many Spanish football clubs , granting them permission to use `` Real '' ( Spanish for `` royal '' ) in their names . Among the many clubs to add the prefix to their name was Madrid FC , which subsequently became Real Madrid . Fourteen clubs have won the title : Barcelona ( 30 ) , Athletic Bilbao ( 23 ) , Real Madrid ( 19 ) , Atlético Madrid ( 10 ) , Valencia ( 7 ) , Real Zaragoza ( 6 ) , Sevilla ( 5 ) , Espanyol ( 4 ) , Real Union ( 4 ) , Real Betis ( 2 ) , Deportivo de La Coruña ( 2 ) , Real Sociedad ( 2 ) , Arenas Club de Getxo ( 1 ) and Mallorca ( 1 ) . Spanish Supercup ( Supercopa de España ) ( edit ) Main article : Supercopa de España The Spanish Super Cup ( Spanish : Supercopa de España ) is a championship organized by Royal Spanish Football Federation and contested by the winners of La Liga and Copa del Rey . The competition was founded in 1982 . Ten clubs have won the title : Barcelona ( 12 ) , Real Madrid ( 10 ) , Deportivo de La Coruña ( 3 ) , Atlético Madrid ( 2 ) , Athletic Bilbao ( 2 ) , Valencia ( 1 ) , Real Zaragoza ( 1 ) , Mallorca ( 1 ) , Sevilla ( 1 ) and Real Sociedad ( 1 ) . Spanish clubs in international competitions ( edit ) Main article : Spanish football clubs in international competitions The Spanish football clubs are very successful in international competitions . They are the most successful in different current European competitions , such as UEFA Champions League , UEFA Super Cup , and UEFA Europa League ; and they also were the most successful in the extinct Inter-Cities Fairs Cup . The most successful clubs in international competitions are Barcelona and Real Madrid . In addition , other Spanish clubs have also won titles in international tournaments , such as Atlético Madrid , Valencia , Sevilla , Real Zaragoza , Villarreal , Deportivo de La Coruña , Celta de Vigo and Málaga . Spanish football clubs hold different records in international competitions . Real Madrid is the most successful club in the European Cup / UEFA Champions League . They have won 13 titles and were runners - up three times . Real Madrid is also the most successful club in the Intercontinental Cup ( three titles , shared record with A.C. Milan , Peñarol , Boca Juniors , Nacional ) and FIFA Club World Cup ( three titles , shared record with Barcelona ) . Barcelona is the most successful club in the FIFA Club World Cup ( three titles , shared record with Real Madrid ) , and it is also the most successful club in the UEFA Super Cup ( five titles , shared record with Milan ) . In addition , Barcelona became the first football club to win six out of six competitions in a single year ( 2009 ) completing the sextuple , and the first European club in history to achieve the continental treble twice ( 2009 and 2015 ) . Sevilla is the most successful club in the UEFA Cup / UEFA Europa League , with five titles . In total , the Spanish football clubs have won 73 international titles as of 2018 .

Women 's football ( edit ) Main article : Women 's football in Spain Women 's football is a minor sport in Spain . Unlike the men 's football , women 's football is an amateur sport in Spain . Currently there are two national competitions , the League and the Copa de la Reina ( English : Queen 's Cup ) , in the semi-professional clubs involved structure . The first teams and the first informal women 's football competitions in Spain emerged in the 1970s , although they were not officially recognized by the Royal Spanish Football Federation until 1980 , with the founding of the National Women 's Football Committee . The first official national competition was the Championships of Spain ( Copa de la Reina ) , established in 1983 . The women 's national league began to dispute the 1988 - 89 season . The Spain women 's national football team has been qualified only once in the FIFA Women 's World Cup , and twice in the UEFA Women 's Championship . Its youth division have had success in recent times . The Spain women 's national under - 19 football team won the UEFA Women 's Under - 19 Championship in 2004 . The Spain women 's national under - 19 football team won the UEFA Women 's Under - 17 Championship in 2010 , 2011 , and 2015 , as well as their third - place at the FIFA U-17 Women 's World Cup .

Robot-assisted surgery Robotic surgery , computer - assisted surgery , and robotically - assisted surgery are terms for technological developments that use robotic systems to aid in surgical procedures . Robotically - assisted surgery was developed to overcome the limitations of pre-existing minimally - invasive surgical procedures and to enhance the capabilities of surgeons performing open surgery . In the case of robotically - assisted minimally - invasive surgery , instead of directly moving the instruments , the surgeon uses one of two methods to control the instruments ; either a direct telemanipulator or through computer control . A telemanipulator is a remote manipulator that allows the surgeon to perform the normal movements associated with the surgery whilst the robotic arms carry out those movements using end - effectors and manipulators to perform the actual surgery on the patient . In computer - controlled systems the surgeon uses a computer to control the robotic arms and its end - effectors , though these systems can also still use telemanipulators for their input . One advantage of using the computerised method is that the surgeon does not have to be present , but can be anywhere in the world , leading to the possibility for remote surgery . In the case of enhanced open surgery , autonomous instruments ( in familiar configurations ) replace traditional steel tools , performing certain actions ( such as rib spreading ) with much smoother , feedback - controlled motions than could be achieved by a human hand . The main object of such smart instruments is to reduce or eliminate the tissue trauma traditionally associated with open surgery without requiring more than a few minutes ' training on the part of surgeons . This approach seeks to improve open surgeries , particularly cardio - thoracic , that have so far not benefited from minimally - invasive techniques . Robotic surgery has been criticized for its expense , by one estimate costing $1,500 to $2000 more per patient . Contents ( hide ) 1 Comparison to traditional methods 2 Uses 2.1 General surgery 2.2 Cardiothoracic surgery 2.3 Cardiology and electrophysiology 2.4 Colon and rectal surgery 2.5 Gastrointestinal surgery 2.6 Gynecology 2.7 Neurosurgery 2.8 Ophthalmology 2.9 Orthopedics 2.10 Children 2.11 Radiosurgery 2.12 Spine surgery 2.13 Transplant surgery 2.14 Urology 2.15 Vascular surgery 3 Miniature robotics 4 History 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Comparison to traditional methods ( edit ) Major advances aided by surgical robots have been remote surgery , minimally invasive surgery and unmanned surgery . Due to robotic use , the surgery is done with precision , miniaturization , smaller incisions ; decreased blood loss , less pain , and quicker healing time . Articulation beyond normal manipulation and three - dimensional magnification helps resulting in improved ergonomics . Due to these techniques there is a reduced duration of hospital stays , blood loss , transfusions , and use of pain medication . The existing open surgery technique has many flaws like limited access to surgical area , long recovery time , long hours of operation , blood loss , surgical scars and marks . The robot normally costs $1,390,000 and while its disposable supply cost is normally $1,500 per procedure , the cost of the procedure is higher . Additional surgical training is needed to operate the system . Numerous feasibility studies have been done to determine whether the purchase of such systems are worthwhile . As it stands , opinions differ dramatically . Surgeons report that , although the manufacturers of such systems provide training on this new technology , the learning phase is intensive and surgeons must operate on twelve to eighteen patients before they adapt . During the training phase , minimally invasive operations can take up to twice as long as traditional surgery , leading to operating room tie ups and surgical staffs keeping patients under anesthesia for longer periods . Patient surveys indicate they chose the procedure based on expectations of decreased morbidity , improved outcomes , reduced blood loss and less pain . Higher expectations may explain higher rates of dissatisfaction and regret . Compared with other minimally invasive surgery approaches , robot - assisted surgery gives the surgeon better control over the surgical instruments and a better view of the surgical site . In addition , surgeons no longer have to stand throughout the surgery and do not tire as quickly . Naturally occurring hand tremors are filtered out by the robot 's computer software . Finally , the surgical robot can continuously be used by rotating surgery teams . Critics of the system , including the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists , say there is a steep learning curve for surgeons who adopt use of the system and that there 's a lack of studies that indicate long - term results are superior to results following traditional laparoscopic surgery . Articles in the newly created Journal of Robotic Surgery tend to report on one surgeon 's experience . A Medicare study found that some procedures that have traditionally been performed with large incisions can be converted to `` minimally invasive '' endoscopic procedures with the use of the Da Vinci Surgical System , shortening length - of - stay in the hospital and reducing recovery times . But because of the hefty cost of the robotic system it is not clear that it is cost - effective for hospitals and physicians despite any benefits to patients since there is no additional reimbursement paid by the government or insurance companies when the system is used . Robot - assisted pancreatectomies have been found to be associated with `` longer operating time , lower estimated blood loss , a higher spleen - preservation rate , and shorter hospital stay ( s ) '' than laparoscopic pancreatectomies ; there was `` no significant difference in transfusion , conversion to open surgery , overall complications , severe complications , pancreatic fistula , severe pancreatic fistula , ICU stay , total cost , and 30 - day mortality between the two groups . '' For surgical removal of the uterus and cervix for early cervical cancer robotic and laparoscopic surgery resulted in similar outcomes with respect to the cancer . Uses ( edit ) General surgery ( edit ) In early 2000 the field of general surgical interventions with the daVinci device was explored by surgeons at Ohio State University . Reports were published in esophageal and pancreatic surgery for the first time in the world and further data were subsequently published by Horgan and his group at the University of Illinois and then later at the same institution by others . In 2007 , the University of Illinois at Chicago medical team , led by Prof. Pier Cristoforo Giulianotti , reported a pancreatectomy and also the Midwest 's first fully robotic Whipple surgery . In April 2008 , the same team of surgeons performed the world 's first fully minimally invasive liver resection for living donor transplantation , removing 60 % of the patient 's liver , yet allowing him to leave the hospital just a couple of days after the procedure , in very good condition . Furthermore , the patient can also leave with less pain than a usual surgery due to the four puncture holes and not a scar by a surgeon . Cardiothoracic surgery ( edit ) Robot - assisted MIDCAB and Endoscopic coronary artery bypass ( TECAB ) operations are being performed with the Da Vinci system . Mitral valve repairs and replacements have been performed . The Ohio State University , Columbus has performed CABG , mitral valve , esophagectomy , lung resection , tumor resections , among other robotic assisted procedures and serves as a training site for other surgeons . In 2002 , surgeons at the Cleveland Clinic in Florida reported and published their preliminary experience with minimally invasive `` hybrid '' procedures . These procedures combined robotic revascularization and coronary stenting and further expanded the role of robots in coronary bypass to patients with disease in multiple vessels . Ongoing research on the outcomes of robotic assisted CABG and hybrid CABG is being done . Cardiology and electrophysiology ( edit ) As of 2004 , three types of heart surgery are being performed on a routine basis using robotic surgery systems . These three surgery types were : Atrial septal defect repair -- the repair of a hole between the two upper chambers of the heart , Mitral valve repair -- the repair of the valve that prevents blood from regurgitating back into the upper heart chambers during contractions of the heart , Coronary artery bypass -- rerouting of blood supply by bypassing blocked arteries that provide blood to the heart . Colon and rectal surgery ( edit ) Many studies have been undertaken in order to examine the role of robotic procedures in the field of colorectal surgery . Results to date indicate that robotic - assisted colorectal procedures outcomes are `` no worse '' than the results in the now `` traditional '' laparoscopic colorectal operations . Robotic - assisted colorectal surgery appears to be safe as well . Most of the procedures have been performed for malignant colon and rectal lesions . However , surgeons are now moving into resections for diverticulitis and non-resective rectopexies ( attaching the colon to the sacrum in order to treat rectal prolapse . ) When evaluated for several variables , robotic - assisted procedures fare equally well when compared with laparoscopic , or open abdominal operations . Study parameters have looked at intraoperative patient preparation time , length of time to perform the operation , adequacy of the removed surgical specimen with respect to clear surgical margins and number of lymph nodes removed , blood loss , operative or postoperative complications and long - term results . More difficult to evaluate are issues related to the view of the operative field , the types of procedures that should be performed using robotic assistance and the potential added cost for a robotic operation . Many surgeons feel that the optics of the 3 - dimensional , two camera stereo optic robotic system are superior to the optical system used in laparoscopic procedures . The pelvic nerves are clearly visualized during robotic - assisted procedures . Less clear however is whether or not these supposedly improved optics and visualization improve patient outcomes with respect to postoperative impotence or incontinence , and whether long - term patient survival is improved by using the 3 - dimensional optic system . Additionally , there is often a need for a wider , or `` larger '' view of the operative field than is routinely provided during robotic operations. , The close - up view of the area under dissection may hamper visualization of the `` bigger view '' , especially with respect to ureteral protection . Questions remain unanswered , even after many years of experience with robotic - assisted colorectal operations . Ongoing studies may help clarify many of the issues of confusion associated with this novel surgical approach . Gastrointestinal surgery ( edit ) Multiple types of procedures have been performed with either the ' Zeus ' or da Vinci robot systems , including bariatric surgery and gastrectomy for cancer . Surgeons at various universities initially published case series demonstrating different techniques and the feasibility of GI surgery using the robotic devices . Specific procedures have been more fully evaluated , specifically esophageal fundoplication for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux and Heller myotomy for the treatment of achalasia . Other gastrointestinal procedures including colon resection , pancreatectomy , esophagectomy and robotic approaches to pelvic disease have also been reported . Gynecology ( edit ) Robotic surgery in gynecology is of uncertain benefit with it being unclear if it affects rates of complications . Gynecologic procedures may take longer with robot - assisted surgery but may be associated with a shorter hospital stay following hysterectomy . In the United States , robotic - assisted hysterectomy for benign conditions has been shown to be more expensive than conventional laparoscopic hysterectomy , with no difference in overall rates of complications . This includes the use of the da Vinci surgical system in benign gynecology and gynecologic oncology . Robotic surgery can be used to treat fibroids , abnormal periods , endometriosis , ovarian tumors , uterine prolapse , and female cancers . Using the robotic system , gynecologists can perform hysterectomies , myomectomies , and lymph node biopsies . Neurosurgery ( edit ) Several systems for stereotactic intervention are currently on the market . The NeuroMate was the first neurosurgical robot , commercially available in 1997 . Originally developed in Grenoble by Alim - Louis_Benabid 's team , it is now owned by Renishaw . With installations in the United States , Europe and Japan , the system has been used in 8000 stereotactic brain surgeries by 2009 . IMRIS Inc. 's SYMBIS ( TM ) Surgical System will be the version of NeuroArm , the world 's first MRI - compatible surgical robot , developed for world - wide commercialization . Medtech 's Rosa is being used by several institutions , including the Cleveland Clinic in the U.S , and in Canada at Sherbrooke University and the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital in Montreal ( MNI / H ) . Between June 2011 and September 2012 , over 150 neurosurgical procedures at the MNI / H have been completed robotized stereotaxy , including in the placement of depth electrodes in the treatment of epilepsy , selective resections , and stereotaxic biopsies . Ophthalmology ( edit ) The first robotic operation inside the eye took place at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford on 9 September 2016 . The robot was developed by Preceyes BV and the surgery was performed by Robert MacLaren , Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Oxford . They operated successfully on the Reverend Dr William Beaver , a 70 year old man with a macular hole . The researchers commented that robotic eye surgery has taken longer to develop due to the need to miniaturise the components . They observed that the robot could make controlled movements inside the eye as small as 100th of a millimetre . Orthopedics ( edit ) The ROBODOC system was released in 1992 by Integrated Surgical Systems , Inc. which merged into CUREXO Technology Corporation . Also , The Acrobot Company Ltd. developed the `` Acrobot Sculptor '' , a robot that constrained a bone cutting tool to a pre-defined volume . The `` Acrobot Sculptor '' was sold to Stanmore Implants in August 2010 . Stanmore received FDA clearance in February 2013 for US surgeries but sold the Sculptor to Mako Surgical in June 2013 to resolve a patent infringement lawsuit . Another example is the CASPAR robot produced by U.R.S. which is used for total hip replacement , total knee replacement and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction . MAKO Surgical Corp ( founded 2004 ) produces the RIO ( Robotic Arm Interactive Orthopedic System ) which combines robotics , navigation , and haptics for both partial knee and total hip replacement surgery . Blue Belt Technologies received FDA clearance in November 2012 for the Navio Surgical System . The Navio System is a navigated , robotics - assisted surgical system that uses a CT free approach to assist in partial knee replacement surgery . Children ( edit ) Surgical robotics has been used in many types of pediatric surgical procedures including : tracheoesophageal fistula repair , cholecystectomy , nissen fundoplication , morgagni 's hernia repair , kasai portoenterostomy , congenital diaphragmatic hernia repair , and others . On 17 January 2002 , surgeons at Children 's Hospital of Michigan in Detroit performed the nation 's first advanced computer - assisted robot - enhanced surgical procedure at a children 's hospital . The Center for Robotic Surgery at Children 's Hospital Boston provides a high level of expertise in pediatric robotic surgery . Specially - trained surgeons use a high - tech robot to perform complex and delicate operations through very small surgical openings . The results are less pain , faster recoveries , shorter hospital stays , smaller scars , and happier patients and families . In 2001 , Children 's Hospital Boston was the first pediatric hospital to acquire a surgical robot . Today , surgeons use the technology for many procedures and perform more pediatric robotic operations than any other hospital in the world . Children 's Hospital physicians have developed a number of new applications to expand the use of the robot , and train surgeons from around the world on its use . Radiosurgery ( edit ) The CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System uses image guidance and computer controlled robotics to treat tumors throughout the body by delivering multiple beams of high - energy radiation to the tumor from virtually any direction . The system uses a German KUKA KR 240 . Mounted on the robot is a compact X-band linac that produces 6MV X-ray radiation . Mounting the radiation source on the robot allows very fast repositioning of the source , which enables the system to deliver radiation from many different directions without the need to move both the patient and source as required by current gantry configurations . Spine surgery ( edit ) Robotic devices started to be used in minimally invasive spine surgery starting in the mid-2000s . As of 2014 , there were too few randomized clinical trials to allow judgements as to whether robotic spine surgery is more or less safe than other approaches . Transplant surgery ( edit ) Transplant surgery ( organ transplantation ) has been considered as highly technically demanding and virtually unobtainable by means of conventional laparoscopy . For many years , transplant patients were unable to benefit from the advantages of minimally invasive surgery . The development of robotic technology and its associated high resolution capabilities , three dimensional visual system , wrist type motion and fine instruments , gave opportunity for highly complex procedures to be completed in a minimally invasive fashion . Subsequently , the first fully robotic kidney transplantations were performed in the late 2000s . After the procedure was proven to be feasible and safe , the main emerging challenge was to determine which patients would benefit most from this robotic technique . As a result , recognition of the increasing prevalence of obesity amongst patients with kidney failure on hemodialysis posed a significant problem . Due to the abundantly higher risk of complications after traditional open kidney transplantation , obese patients were frequently denied access to transplantation , which is the premium treatment for end stage kidney disease . The use of the robotic - assisted approach has allowed kidneys to be transplanted with minimal incisions , which has virtually alleviated wound complications and significantly shortened the recovery period . The University of Illinois Medical Center reported the largest series of 104 robotic - assisted kidney transplants for obese recipients ( mean body mass index > 42 ) . Amongst this group of patients , no wound infections were observed and the function of transplanted kidneys was excellent . In this way , robotic kidney transplantation could be considered as the biggest advance in surgical technique for this procedure since its creation more than half a century ago . Urology ( edit ) Robotic surgery in the field of urology has become very popular , especially in the United States . It has been most extensively applied for excision of prostate cancer because of difficult anatomical access . It is also utilized for kidney cancer surgeries and to lesser extent surgeries of the bladder . As of 2014 , there is little evidence of increased benefits compared to standard surgery to justify the increased costs . Some have found tentative evidence of more complete removal of cancer and less side effects from surgery for prostatectomy . In 2000 , the first robot - assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy was performed . Vascular surgery ( edit ) In September 2010 , the first robotic operations with Hansen Medical 's Magellan Robotic System at the femoral vasculature were performed at the University Medical Centre Ljubljana ( UMC Ljubljana ) , Slovenia . The research was led by Borut Geršak , the head of the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery at the centre . Geršak explained that the robot used was the first true robot in the history of robotic surgery , meaning the user interface was not resembling surgical instruments and the robot was not simply imitating the movement of human hands but was guided by pressing buttons , just like one would play a video game . The robot was imported to Slovenia from the United States . Miniature robotics ( edit ) As scientists seek to improve the versatility and utility of robotics in surgery , some are attempting to miniaturize the robots . For example , the University of Nebraska Medical Center has led a multi-campus effort to provide collaborative research on mini-robotics among surgeons , engineers and computer scientists . History ( edit ) The first robot to assist in surgery was the Arthrobot , which was developed and used for the first time in Vancouver in 1983 . Intimately involved were biomedical engineer , Dr. James McEwen , Geof Auchinleck , a UBC engineering physics grad , and Dr. Brian Day as well as a team of engineering students . The robot was used in an orthopaedic surgical procedure on 12 March 1984 , at the UBC Hospital in Vancouver . Over 60 arthroscopic surgical procedures were performed in the first 12 months , and a 1985 National Geographic video on industrial robots , The Robotics Revolution , featured the device . Other related robotic devices developed at the same time included a surgical scrub nurse robot , which handed operative instruments on voice command , and a medical laboratory robotic arm . A YouTube video entitled Arthrobot illustrates some of these in operation . In 1985 a robot , the Unimation Puma 200 , was used to place a needle for a brain biopsy using CT guidance . In 1992 , the PROBOT , developed at Imperial College London , was used to perform prostatic surgery by Dr. Senthil Nathan at Guy 's and St Thomas ' Hospital , London . This was the first pure robotic surgery in the world . The PROBOT was specifically designed for transurethral resection of the prostate . Meanwhile , when PROBOT was being developed , ROBODOC , a robotic system designed to assist hip replacement surgeries was the first surgical robot that was approved by the FDA . The ROBODOC from Integrated Surgical Systems ( working closely with IBM ) was introduced in 1992 to mill out precise fittings in the femur for hip replacement . The purpose of the ROBODOC was to replace the previous method of carving out a femur for an implant , the use of a mallet and broach / rasp . Further development of robotic systems was carried out by SRI International and Intuitive Surgical with the introduction of the da Vinci Surgical System and Computer Motion with the AESOP and the ZEUS robotic surgical system . The first robotic surgery took place at The Ohio State University Medical Center in Columbus , Ohio under the direction of Robert E. Michler . Examples of using ZEUS include a fallopian tube reconnection in July 1998 , a beating heart coronary artery bypass graft in October 1999 , and the Lindbergh Operation , which was a cholecystectomy performed remotely in September 2001 . The original telesurgery robotic system that the da Vinci was based on was developed at SRI International in Menlo Park with grant support from DARPA and NASA . Although the telesurgical robot was originally intended to facilitate remotely performed surgery in battlefield and other remote environments , it turned out to be more useful for minimally invasive on - site surgery . The patents for the early prototype were sold to Intuitive Surgical in Mountain View , California . The da Vinci senses the surgeon 's hand movements and translates them electronically into scaled - down micro-movements to manipulate the tiny proprietary instruments . It also detects and filters out any tremors in the surgeon 's hand movements , so that they are not duplicated robotically . The camera used in the system provides a true stereoscopic picture transmitted to a surgeon 's console . Examples of using the da Vinci system include the first robotically assisted heart bypass ( performed in Germany ) in May 1998 , and the first performed in the United States in September 1999 ; and the first all - robotic - assisted kidney transplant , performed in January 2009 . The da Vinci Si was released in April 2009 , and initially sold for $1.75 million . In May 2006 the first artificial intelligence doctor - conducted unassisted robotic surgery on a 34 - year - old male to correct heart arythmia . The results were rated as better than an above - average human surgeon . The machine had a database of 10,000 similar operations , and so , in the words of its designers , was `` more than qualified to operate on any patient '' . In August 2007 , Dr. Sijo Parekattil of the Robotics Institute and Center for Urology ( Winter Haven Hospital and University of Florida ) performed the first robotic assisted microsurgery procedure denervation of the spermatic cord for chronic testicular pain . In February 2008 , Dr. Mohan S. Gundeti of the University of Chicago Comer Children 's Hospital performed the first robotic pediatric neurogenic bladder reconstruction . On 12 May 2008 , the first image - guided MR - compatible robotic neurosurgical procedure was performed at University of Calgary by Dr. Garnette Sutherland using the NeuroArm . In June 2008 , the German Aerospace Centre ( DLR ) presented a robotic system for minimally invasive surgery , the MiroSurge . In September 2010 , the Eindhoven University of Technology announced the development of the Sofie surgical system , the first surgical robot to employ force feedback . In September 2010 , the first robotic operation at the femoral vasculature was performed at the University Medical Centre Ljubljana by a team led by Borut Geršak .
