A transperineal prostate biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure used to collect small samples of prostate tissue for testing. Unlike the traditional transrectal approach, this method accesses the prostate through the perineum (the area between the scrotum and anus), which significantly reduces the risk of infection and allows for more precise targeting of suspicious areas.
This advanced technique helps us detect prostate cancer earlier and with greater accuracy, giving you and your provider the information needed to develop the most appropriate treatment plan.
