Given this significant practice change, we retrospectively analyzed our patients to compare safety outcomes in TP and TR prostate biopsies. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 318 patients who underwent TR or TP prostate bx at our institution from 2019-2022 was performed. Patient characteristics and complications rates, including UTI, sepsis, 30-day readmission, and ED visits were collected. RESULTS: We identified 318 patients - 173 had TRbx and 143 had TPbx. Pre- or peri-operative antibiotics were used in 8 patients (5.5%) who had TPbx (due to urosepsis from prior bx or surgeon preference) compared to 174 (100%) with TRbx (p<0.001) (Table 1). Patients with TPbx had no infectious complications, 1 ED visit and no 30-day readmissions compared to 9 (5.17%) infectious complications, 8 (4.6%) ED visits and 7 (4.02%) 30-day readmissions with TRbx (Table 2). Procedure times were shorter with TPbx compared to TRbx (24 vs. 31 min, respectively) and there were significantly fewer total post-operative complications (TR 43.1% vs TP 12.01%). There were similar rates of clinically significant Gleason ≥7 – 62.07% and 61.36% in the TP and TR groups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Complication rates, including infectious, were significantly lower with TPbx compared to the TR approach with comparable rates of detection of clinically significant prostate cancer. Despite only a small percentage of patients receiving perioperative antibiotics in the TPbx group, we recorded 0 cases of sepsis or UTI and no 30-day readmissions. With a greater emphasis on antibiotic stewardship, we underline the safety of TPbx which can largely be done without routine perioperative antibiotics or bowel preparation.
