Rectal preparation before transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy significantly reduces infectious complications. The number of biopsy cores and prebiopsy rectal preparation are key risk factors to manage.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Infectious Disease Prevention
  • Surgical Safety

Background:

  • Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy is a common procedure.
  • Infectious complications, including sepsis and fever, are known risks.
  • Optimizing pre-procedural protocols is crucial for patient safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if rectal preparation impacts infectious complication rates after TRUS-guided prostate biopsy.
  • To identify risk factors associated with infectious complications post-biopsy.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 879 patients undergoing TRUS-guided prostate biopsy.
  • Patients received standard antibiotic prophylaxis.
  • Comparison of infectious complication rates between patients with and without bisacodyl rectal preparation.

Main Results:

  • Rectal preparation was a statistically significant factor in reducing infectious complications (P=0.000).
  • The number of biopsy cores was also a significant risk factor (P=0.038).
  • Overall major complications occurred in 5.3% of cases, with infectious complications being the most common.

Conclusions:

  • Prebiopsy rectal preparation is recommended to minimize infectious complications.
  • Limiting the number of biopsy cores may further reduce risks.
  • Implementing rectal preparation is a key strategy for enhancing prostate biopsy safety.
