Abstract

Prostate biopsy causes impaired voiding. Saturation prostate biopsy and periprostatic nerve block seem to have a lasting impact on voiding function. Erectile function is transiently affected by prostate biopsy regardless of periprostatic nerve block and the number of cores. Patients who undergo prostate biopsy must be informed about these side effects.
