Key Points

  • Transperineal biopsy shows a higher cancer detection rate and fewer complications than the transrectal method.
  • Overall detection rates are significantly better with the transperineal approach, ensuring patient safety.
  • Compared to transrectal biopsy, transperineal biopsy maintains equivalent detection of clinically significant prostate cancer.
  • The findings indicate that complications are more related to the procedural technique than patient factors.

Abstract

Transperineal prostate biopsy demonstrated a higher overall detection rate and significantly fewer complications compared to the transrectal approach, while maintaining equivalent detection of clinically significant prostate cancer. The absence of age-related or histological bias confirms that the lower complication rate of TP biopsy is attributable to the procedural route rather than patient-related factors.
