    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Pathology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Transrectal prostatic biopsy is crucial for diagnosing prostate conditions.
    • Evaluating diagnostic accuracy of different biopsy techniques is essential for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the diagnostic reliability of the Franzen aspiration technique versus the Silverman technique for transrectal prostatic biopsies.

    Main Methods:

    • Two techniques were compared: Franzen aspiration (n=138) without anesthesia and Silverman (n=80) under general anesthesia.
    • Both techniques were performed on patients presenting with prostatic symptoms.

    Main Results:

    • The Franzen technique achieved a reliable diagnosis in 82% of cases.

  • The Silverman technique demonstrated a higher diagnostic reliability, achieving 95% accuracy.

    • Conclusions:

    • The Silverman technique under general anesthesia offers superior diagnostic accuracy for transrectal prostatic biopsies compared to the Franzen aspiration technique.
    • Anesthesia may play a role in improving the reliability of prostatic biopsy diagnoses.
