[A new technic of transperineal puncture of the prostate guided by real-time endorectal echography].

The author reports a technique of ultrasonically-guided prostatic biopsy using a new transrectal linear array real-time transducer. The needle is inserted transperineally parallel to the probe towards the prostatic suspicious abnormalities disclosed by transrectal sonography. The needle is entirely visualized and its progression is accurately and safely monitored by a permanent real-time control.
