Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) is becoming more widely used as a method of investigating prostatic disease. This study investigated the acceptance of this technique in 89 patients undergoing evaluation for suspected malignant disease. The true morbidity associated with TRUS and TRUS-guided biopsy was evaluated. Serious complications were rare, but minor complications were frequent. Careful counselling is recommended prior to the procedure in order to minimise the patients' anxiety and ensure that if complications do occur they are dealt with swiftly and appropriately.
经直肠超声检查（TRUS）作为一种前列腺疾病的检查方法正被越来越广泛地应用。本研究调查了89例疑似恶性疾病患者对该技术的接受情况。评估了与经直肠超声检查及经直肠超声引导下活检相关的实际发病率。严重并发症很少见，但轻微并发症很常见。建议在检查前进行仔细的咨询，以尽量减少患者的焦虑，并确保如果发生并发症，能够迅速且适当地进行处理。
