Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of 16 G and 18 G biopsy needles in transperineal template-guided prostate biopsies in terms of clinical outcomes and patient safety.
- Patients were randomly assigned to either the 18 G control group or the 16 G observation group, with results showing a higher positive biopsy rate (68.9% vs. 46.2%) and Gleason score in the 16 G group.
- Despite the better performance of the 16 G needle, there were no significant differences in pain or complication rates between the two groups, indicating that it is a safer and more effective option.
