Özet
Objectives. To evaluate, in a prospective study, the benefit of adding local periapical prostatic anesthesia to routine periprostatic infiltration to the prostate-seminal vesicle junction in a randomized fashion. Transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy is the reference standard in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. Although well tolerated by most patients, it can be associated with discomfort.
