Prostate Biopsy

Procedure:

1. An ultrasound probe will be introduced into the rectum to obtain images of the prostate.

2. A series of needle punctures is carried out, generally 6 or 8, to get a fairly representative sampling of the prostate tissue. These are admittedly uncomfortable for some & again IV sedation may be employed. 

3. The duration of the procedure is generally less than 10 minutes.

4. You will remain in the recovery area for a brief period of time following procedure if IV sedation is employed.
