Technical and technological advances in robotic partial nephrectomy

Abstract

Robotic parital nephrectomy is an ever-changing field with new technologies and techniques being introduced constantly. The goal of all these advances is to achieve the trifecta, meaning no complications, negative margins and minimal decrease in renal function postoperatively. In this chapter, we discuss many of the new techniques and technologies helping urologists achieve the idea of the trifecta for partial nephrectomy.
