About Prostate Biopsy with Transrectal Ultrasound

Prostate Biopsy is a procedure used to take a tissue sample from the prostate gland in male patients. This tissue sample can be sent to the laboratory for examination for diseases and other conditions. Commonly, the prostate gland is accessed through the rectum, urethra, or perineum, and then the tissue sample is taken. In the case of Prostate Biopsy with Transrectal Ultrasound (TRUS), the doctor will use ultrasound imaging to guide the needle into the rectal area to take the tissue sample.
