What's known on the subject? and What does the study add?
We have earlier proposed ‘pentafecta’ as an ideal outcome assessment tool after robotic prostatectomy instead of the classically used ‘tritecta’. This was done to meet the demands and expectations of the prostate cancer patients from minimally‐invasive surgical techniques.
This article reviews each of the five arms of ‘pentafecta’ outcomes after robotic prostatectomy performed in high volume centres.
- • Historically, the ideal outcome of radical prostatectomy (RP) has been measured by achievement of the so‐called ‘trifecta’, or the concurrent attainment of continence and potency with no evidence of biochemical recurrence. However, in the PSA era, younger and healthier men are more frequently diagnosed with prostate cancer.
