PROSTATIC BIOPSY GUIDED BY TRANSRECTAL REALTIME LINEAR SCANNER

Abstract

Prostatic needle biopsy guided by a transrectal realtime linear scanner was performed on 140 cases in our clinic and in mass screening program for prostatic diseases. The success rate was 100per cent and no complication occurred except for one case that complained of difficult urination after biopsy. This procedure was thus recommended as to be more accurate and safer than the conventional blind one.
