Transperineal Prostate Biopsies Under Local Anesthesia

INCREDIBLE INNOVATIONS IN PROSTATE BIOPSIES: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!

Have you wondered what the future of prostate biopsies is? This shocking video reveals how the transperineal biopsy approach under local anesthesia is revolutionizing the diagnosis of prostate cancer, the second most lethal type of cancer in men. With more than one million new cases diagnosed each year in North America, prostate cancer remains a crucial concern. Despite advances in imaging, the definitive diagnosis still depends on the biopsy. The video explains how the traditional transrectal biopsy method, although common, poses significant risks such as infections and serious complications, including sepsis. In contrast, transperineal biopsy, performed under local anesthesia, offers a safer and more effective alternative. This approach significantly reduces infection and post-procedure complication rates, while maintaining a comparable or even higher cancer detection rate. The procedure is quick, lasting only 10 to 12 minutes, and is suitable for busy urological practices. Additionally, the video details the results of a recent study that analyzed 1,287 men, demonstrating that transperineal biopsy under local anesthesia is not only well tolerated but also improves patient safety by minimizing the risk of severe infections. The technique has proven effective in detecting significant cancers that are often missed by traditional methods.
