Freehand Transperineal Prostate Biopsy Improves the Detection Rate of Clinically Significant Prostate Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Freehand transperineal prostate biopsy (fTP-Bx) has been established as an alternative within the transperineal approach for prostate cancer (CaP) diagnosis. The primary objective was to compare the rate of overall CaP detection and clinically significant (greater than or equal to International Society of Urological Pathology 2) in patients with biopsy-naive between freehand transperineal prostate biopsy (fTP-Bx) and transperineal grid biopsy (TP-Bx) techniques. The secondary objective was to show the characteristics of the procedure and measure the associated complications.

Methods

A retrospective review of all patients who underwent fTP-Bx (n: 326) and TP-Bx (n: 118) in our department was conducted between October 2020 and May 2023 due to suspected CaP based on e
