Rethinking #ProstateBiopsy protocols:
A systematic review (23 studies, 12,324 pts) shows that #AntibioticProhylaxis can safely be omitted in transperineal bx 💉w/o elevating infectious risks 🧫

Guess who's getting a prostate biopsy today to determine whether they have benign lesions or cancer? Introducing Antinous, and Hadrian, the 2 suspicious lesions that showed up in my MRI. Wish me luck.

Excellent paper on antibiotic prophylaxis for #TRUS #prostatebiopsy. But misses point that twin catastrophes of patient sepsis and quinolone resistance avoided altogether by #transperinealbiopsy. Near-zero sepsis. No quinolones. #TRexit @JUrology @PCFnews

Thanks @normanswan at @RadioNational for discussion today on #TRexit - ending #transrectal #prostatebiopsy in favour of safer #transperineal approach. Thanks to all co-authors on #TRexit paper @DrHWoo @declangmurphy @michael_gorin

"Trexit" - making #transrectal #prostatebiopsy history at #AUA19. The future is #Transperineal biopsy. Near-zero sepsis. No fancy antibiotics. And now done under #localanaesthesia. @Uroweb @USANZUrology @AmerUrological @SIU_urology

@TheodorosTokas great presentation comparing different modalities for #prostatebiopsy
Evidence is still of low quality, we need more high quality data to decide the approach.
