The detection of prostate cancer among high-risk individuals remains a challenge because false-negative rates are high using standard biopsy techniques. Pinkstaff and colleagues from the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, have recently reported on their three-year experience of an alternative approach...
“The transperineal [prostate biopsy] approach is safer because the needles are passed through the perineal skin…so, we can sterilize that skin and if we enter through that passageway, we mitigate, if not eliminate, the risk of infection and sepsis,” s
“In this study, we sought to compare our early outcomes with transperineal prostate biopsy compared to transrectal,” says Saum B. Ghodoussipour, MD.
For prostate biopsy the sampling needle can be inserted through the rectum or through the perineum, which is the skin between the rectum and the scrotum. Our study confirms that in everyday clinical practice, prostate biopsy via the perineum can be carried out under local anaesthetic and without...

prostate biopsytransperineal biopsyBackground:Transperineal biopsy (TPB) of the prostate has been increasingly utilized as it has reduced infection risks. Traditionally however, it is performed under general anaesthesia, thus it carries a differing set of risks. Recently, new studies have performed TPB...
