Abstract:
The issue of performing tissue sampling from the vesicourethral anastomotic area postradical prostatectomy (transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy) after radical surgical treatment of local disease has failed, still remains controversial. We review a selection of articles that evaluate this procedure as well as newer diagnostic modalities and we discuss how this technique may have a position in our treatment dilemmas in cases with biochemical failure of undetermined origin.
