[Severe late rectal bleeding after biopsy of prostate: a case report]
Abstract:
The biopsy of the prostate is a common medical act, which is little invasive and can easily be practiced in external care. Some cases of early rectal or urinary bleedings, which mainly stopped spontaneously, have been described in the literature. The case reported here is that of a patient whose hemorrhagic syndrome arose more than two weeks after the biopsy and required an endoscopic haemostatic treatment.
