Abstract: A retrospective analysis of 158 transrectal prostatic needle biopsy examinations done in 140 patients from Jan 1, 1968, through April 30, 1972, showed 62 complications in 51 biopsies. Fourteen major complications occurred in 11 patients. Fever developed in 41 (26%) of the patients. A review of the literature dealing with complications of prostatic biopsy is given. The following recommendations are made: (1) the use of the perineal approach whenever possible; (2) the use of prophylactic antimicrobials; (3) hospitalization for prostatic biopsy examination.read more

The Management of Clinically Unconfirmed Positive Urinary Cytology
TL;DR: An aggressive evaluation of extravesical sites of disease in patients with clinically unconfirmed positive urinary cytology findings is indicated only in previously untreated asymptomatic or symptomatic patients and in those with a complete response to intravesical therapy who are without evidence of disease for 1 year.
