Transrectal vs Transperineal Biopsy for Detecting Prostate CancerSchaeffer, EdwardHu, Jim C.AUANews
Transrectal (TR) and transperineal (TP) approaches for prostate biopsy have different morbidity profiles. Our institution transitioned to a preference for multiparametric MRI-based triage and TP biopsy since 2014. The aim of this study was to compare clinical, microbiological and health economic outcome...

“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
The adoption of transperineal biopsy brings with it additional costs that warrant careful consideration. The shift necessitates investments in a new biopsy platform or at least software updates, dedicated ultrasound probes with eventually holding arms, tables with leg support for lithotomy positions, and...
How to perform transperineal saturation prostate biopsy Provides guidelines to urologists on how to perform transperineal saturation prostate biopsy. Limitations of the standard transrectal ultrasound approach for prostate biopsy; Patient populations with therapeutic dilemmas; Rationale and i... WE Barzell,WF...
Transrectal (TR) biopsy is a regular modality, while transperineal (TP) biopsy is an alternative for the patients who display persistently high levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and thus have to undergo repeat biopsy. This study aimed to compare the cancer detection rates between TR and...
The diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-targeted biopsy by using the transperineal (TP) versus transrectal (TR) route in the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) remains to be revealed. A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Ovid, and the Cochrane Librar...
We prospectively randomized 200 consecutive men into two groups to undergo systematic prostate biopsy. Overall positivity for was similar (47% by transperineal and 53% by transrectal; P=0.480). However, in case with 'gray zone' (from 4.1 to 10.0 ng/ml), significantly more cores were positive...
