In this large multi-institutional series RPN was superior to LPN for perioperative surgical outcomes measured by Trifecta. Patients in the RPN group had better outcomes for all three components of Trifecta compared with their LPN counterparts. Our more strict definition for 'optimal outcome' might be a better tool for assessing perioperative and functional outcomes after minimally invasive PN. This tool needs to be externally validated.
