Prostate Biopsy: Transperineal vs. Transrectal - Understanding the Differences
In today's video, we explore two common prostate biopsy methods: transperineal and transrectal. These approaches are essential for accurately diagnosing prostate cancer, allowing doctors to obtain tissue samples for analysis.
Transrectal biopsy has been the gold standard for many years. This method involves inserting a needle through the wall of the rectum to reach the prostate. It is generally quick and has a shorter recovery time, but may have a greater risk of infection.
On the other hand, transperineal biopsy, performed by inserting a needle through the skin of the perineum (the area between the anus and genitals), is gaining popularity due to its lower risk of infectious complications. This method can be more complete, as it allows easier access to all parts of the prostate.
In this video, we will discuss how each technique is performed, its advantages, potential risks, and what to expect during and after the procedure. The choice between transperineal and transrectal often depends on several factors, including the patient's anatomy and the doctor's preferences.
If you or someone you know is preparing for a prostate biopsy, this video offers valuable information to help you make informed decisions about prostate health care.
