Article Synopsis
- Freehand transperineal prostate biopsy (TPPBx) using a coaxial needle is a viable method for diagnosing prostate cancer, requiring tools similar to those used in transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsies.
- The study, performed in Malaysia, analyzed medical records of 55 patients and found a prostate cancer detection rate of 43.6%, with 29.1% of cases being clinically significant.
- Pain tolerability was relatively low, with median pain scores of four during local anesthesia infiltration and two during the biopsy, and no infections were reported.
