title: [New technologies in partial nephrectomy].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We aim to analyse the role of new technologies in management of small renal cancer.
  
  
  METHODS
  We perform a non-systematic review of the literature in Medline, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews between period 2000-2012, using following  mesh terms: partial nephrectomy, renal ablative technologies, and renal cancer.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We don't review in this article ablative technologies such as cryotherapy, radiofrequency, as they are the subject of others manuscripts within this  monographic issue. We focus on high intensity ultrasounds (HIFU) microwaves therapy, radiosurgery, laser and water jet dissection.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  New technologies in partial nephrectomy are under constant and vertiginous evolution. Although efficacy has been demonstrated in short term and  isolated studies, more studies, better designed, with bigger sample size and longer follow up are needed.
