[Transrectal prostate puncture biopsy in ambulatory care].
The transrectal puncture biopsy is an effective method in the histological clarification of suspicious palpation findings of the prostate. The puncture is technically simple, is to be performed in an outpatient department, can be repeated if necessary and is only of little stress for the patient. Preparation of the intestine or anaesthesia are not necessary. No severe complications were observed. The only little traumatized tissue cylinders obtained by means of the TRU-cut-needle allow the pathologist as a rule an evident assertion.
