summary

Prostate biopsy can be performed using different approaches, with several differences in patient preparation, technique and management. Using our personal experience and comparing it with literature data, in this paper we reviewed data regarding enema and antibiotic prophylaxis administration, biopsy technique, prostate sampling, core pathological management and postoperative management. Moreover, we provide a possible standardization of these procedures in patients undergoing transperineal TRUS-guided prostate biopsy.
