A ULS do Tâmega e Sousa iniciou a realização de biópsias de fusão transperineal, oferecendo um diagnóstico do cancro da próstata mais preciso e eficaz.

Urologist says new transperineal prostate biopsy poses fewer medical complications

Transperineal prostate biopsy removes a small tissue sample through the skin of the perineum rather than the rectum.

This multicenter study of 195 patients treated with MRI-directed, US-guided transperineal focal laser ablation revealed an in-field recurrence of clinically significant prostate cancer rate of 17% ...

Breaking Update: Here’s a clear explanation of the latest developments related to Breaking News:Transperineal vs Transrectal Prostate Biopsy– What Just Happened and why it matters right now. A REAL-WORLD comparative study from a Moroccan tertiary centre has found that transperineal (TP) prostate biopsy offers similar cancer detection rates to the traditional transrectal (TR) approach, while reducing infectious complications and improving tissue sampling quality. 

Breaking Update: Here’s a clear explanation of the latest developments related to Breaking News:Prostate Biopsy Under Local Anesthesia– What Just Happened and why it matters right now. Prostate Biopsy Findings PROSTATE biopsy under local anesthesia showed similar safety and detection outcomes, with better comfort trends for transperineal sampling. A retrospective single center cohort study comparing local anesthetic transperineal biopsy and transrectal ultrasound biopsy found no statistically significant differences in overall complication rates, tolerability, or cancer detection.

The LATP biopsy is associated with lower rates of infection and sepsis compared to TRUS biopsy. The LATP biopsy also detects a higher overall incidence of prostate cancer and clinically significant prostate cancer (Gleason Grade Group 2-5).

The Local Anesthetic Transperineal Prostate biopsy is associated with lower rates of infection and sepsis compared with the Transrectal Ultrasound-Guided Prostate biopsy. It also shows a higher...

A Non-Invasive Ultrasound Challenge to Endoscopic Staging in Ulcerative Colitis Recent research from the prospective TRINITY trial suggests transperineal ultrasound (TPUS) could offer a viable, less invasive alternative to endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) for assessing rectal inflammation in patients with ulcerative colitis. The diagnostic accuracy study, conducted at a major gastroenterology institute in India, compared TPUS and transabdominal ultrasound (TAS) against EUS as the reference standard.

Infectious complications are rare after transperineal prostate biopsy, and antibiotic prophylaxis may not be needed for most procedures. We report a case of Staphylococcus epidermidis urinary tract in...

Ultrasound versus the Clinician's Eye: Refining the Diagnosis of Pelvic Prolapse A new prospective diagnostic study offers a direct comparison of clinical examination and transperineal ultrasound for assessing multicompartment pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Using intraoperative assessment under spinal anesthesia as the gold standard, the research found that the two methods are complementary rather than interchangeable. While both showed high sensitivity for diagnosing a cystocele, ultrasound provided superior specificity for uterine prolapse and rectocele, and was particularly strong at confirming an enterocele.

Transperineal biopsy is safer than the transrectal approach, with fewer infections and less bleeding despite no antibiotics, while maintaining equal accuracy in prostate cancer detection. Thus, transp...

A local anaesthetic ultrasound-guided transperineal prostate biopsy has a higher mean cost and no significant difference in mean quality-adjusted life years, compared with a transrectal ultrasound-gui...

Robotic-assisted transperineal fusion biopsy led to relatively low rates of prostate cancer upgrading and downgrading in a single-center study.
