Transperineal versus Transrectal Prostate Biopsy: Comparative Analysis of Cancer Detection and Complication Rates.

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.
