[Complications of ultrasound-guided transperineal puncture biopsy of the prostate].
1995
: Between June 1988 and February 1993, 520 ultrasound-guided transperitoneal prostate biopsy punctures were performed in patients with prostate disease. Of these, 89 (17.1 %) were positive for malignancy. An analysis is made of the highly uncommon complications observed, which corresponded to 17 cases of haematuria (3.26%) and 3 of fever (0.5%). Likewise, reference is made to perineal neoplastic implantation, since such complication was evident in one of the cases contributed (0.19%). Also, a review of the literature relative to the complications is made, concluding by stating the relevance of this diagnostic technique in spite of said complications.
