Abstract:
Different strategies have been developed to reduce infectious complications following prostate biopsy. Various technical aspects like number of biopsies, needle size, route of biopsy, periprostatic nerve blockade, rectal preparation by enema, or disinfection with povidone-iodine have to be discussed. Regarding antibiotic therapy, choosing the optimal antibiotic, the duration of prophylaxis, combination therapy, and rectal swab-based antimicrobial therapy are of major interest. The current review gives answers to the different aspects.
