Initial experience and cancer detection rates of office-based transperineal magnetic resonance imaging-ultrasound fusion prostate biopsy under local anesthesia.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

We aimed to demonstrate feasibility and cancer detection rates of office-based ultrasound-guided transperineal magnetic resonance imaging-ultrasound (MRI-US) fusion (TFB) prostate biopsy under local anesthesia.

Methods

With institutional review board approval, records of men undergoing TFB in the office setting under local anesthesia were reviewed. Baseline patient characteristics, MRI findings, cancer detection rates, and complications were recorded. The PrecisionPoint Transperineal Access System (Perineologic, Cumberland, MD, U.S.), along with UroNav 3.0 image-fusion system (Invivo International, Best, The Netherlands) were used for all procedures. Following biopsy, men were surveyed to assess patient experience.
