Ultrasound‐Guided Transperineal Versus Transrectal Prostate Aspiration Biopsy in Diagnosing Prostate Cancer

Key Points

• To compare the effectiveness of transperineal and transrectal biopsies in diagnosing prostate cancer.
• Utilized ultrasound-guided techniques for both transperineal and transrectal biopsies.
• Evaluated postoperative complications and pain levels in patients post-biopsy.
• Assessed emotional responses related to each biopsy method.
• Transperineal biopsy resulted in fewer postoperative complications compared to transrectal biopsy.
• Patients reported lower pain levels after transperineal biopsy.
• Transperineal biopsy was associated with reduced negative emotional responses.
