Transperineal Fusion-Guided Prostate Biopsy Under Local Anaesthesia
MRI-ultrasound fusion-guided prostate biopsies in the transperineal approach have become the recommended biopsy procedure according to the guidelines of the European Association of Urology (EAU). We established in our department a streamlined and timesaving protocol for this approach under local anaesthesia on a Canon Aplio i800 ultrasound scanner. We have performed more than 500 biopsies with very good tolerance by the patients and a high detection rate for clinically significant cancers.
