    Transperineal needle biopsy is the most common method for evaluating prostate disease, though transrectal biopsy offers superior antibiotic coverage. Both techniques have distinct advantages and disadvantages for patient care.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Diagnostic Procedures

    Background:

    • Prostate cancer diagnosis relies heavily on needle biopsy.
    • Understanding current clinical practices in urologic training programs is essential.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To survey urologic training programs regarding needle biopsy techniques for prostatic disease.
    • To identify the most frequently used biopsy methods and their clinical application.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was distributed to urologic training programs.
    • Data collected focused on the usage, setting, and antibiotic protocols for transperineal and transrectal needle biopsies.

    Main Results:

    • Transperineal needle biopsy was favored (57%) and often performed inpatient (62%).

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Transrectal biopsy (43%) showed higher rates of prebiopsy antibiotic coverage (100% vs. 24%).
  • An average of 3.25 cores were obtained per procedure.

    • Conclusions:

    • Clinical adoption varies between transperineal and transrectal prostate biopsy techniques.
    • Differences in antibiotic prophylaxis highlight areas for potential practice improvement.
    • Further research should explore optimal anesthesia and analgesia for these procedures.
