Project acroniem
RALP
Introduction
Robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) is a minimally invasive form of surgery for the treatment of prostate cancer. The ultimate goal of minimally invasive surgery over conventional surgery is to improve patient outcome.
Objective
This project involved an evaluation of outcomes and quality of care in RALP. The hospitals participating in this project had to meet a number of conditions to be eligible for reimbursement of consumables by the Rijksinstituut voor Ziekte- en Invaliditeitsverzekering (RIZIV) (National Institute for Health and Disability Insurance). The hospitals involved could register data between 2009 and February 2016.
Financial support and partners
This registration project was run in collaboration with the Belgian Association of Urology (BAU) and the RIZIV.
