Crossing the Divide from Transrectal to Transperineal Biopsy

Michael A. Gorin, MD, a urologist at Urology Associates of Cumberland, Maryland, discusses the benefits of transperineal prostate biopsy over transrectal biopsy. He notes that transrectal prostate biopsy leads to infections in 5-7% of patients, and argues that transperineal biopsy is the best alternative for avoiding infection. Dr. Gorin acknowledges that the use of a grid-stepper unit for performing transperineal biopsy can be uncomfortable for patients, but suggests that new technology like the PrecisionPoint™ Transperineal Access System solves many of these issues. The presentation is followed by a Q&A in which Dr. Gorin discusses the importance of new coding for transperineal biopsy and the potential of variable length needles. Disclosures: Dr. Gorin is a consultant for Perineologic.
