Emerging technologies to improve techniques and outcomes of robotic partial nephrectomy: striving toward the pentafecta

L Spencer Krane et al. Urol Clin North Am. 2014 Nov.

Abstract

The technique of robotic partial nephrectomy continues to evolve, but the goals remain the same. Achievement of pentafecta outcomes is difficult to obtain; however, surgeons should continue to strive for this standard of excellence. The future continues to be bright for patients and surgeons alike in continuing to perform robot-assisted partial nephrectomy.
