The complications following transrectal prostatic biopsy are reviewed in 150 patients. The most frequent complications were urinary infection and pyrexia. A prospective study within the reported series demonstrated a high incidence of bacteriaemia following biopsy. The results suggest that transrectal prostatic biopsy may be performed safely as an out-patient procedure without the use of prophylactic antibiotics, although antibiotic therapy may be indicated when complications do arise.
对150例经直肠前列腺活检后的并发症进行了回顾。最常见的并发症是尿路感染和发热。该报告系列中的一项前瞻性研究表明，活检后菌血症发生率很高。结果表明，经直肠前列腺活检作为门诊手术可以安全进行，无需使用预防性抗生素，不过当确实出现并发症时可能需要抗生素治疗。
