MP-4.3. Table 1. Infectious complications following TRBx Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on consecutive
and TPBx requiring outpatient or inpatient management patients who underwent TPBx from October 2016 to September 2019.
Patient tolerability was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale
at North York General Hospital (VAS). Patients reported their level of discomfort from 0 (no pain)
TRBx TPBx to 10 (worst pain imaginable) for various parts of the procedure.
(n=1031) (n=1325) Results: A total of 1939 patients underwent a TPBx under local anesthetic.
Fever 1 (0.1) 0 (0) PCa was diagnosed in 1027 (53.0%) patients who had positive pathology.
Clinically significant PCa (Gleason grade group ≥2) was detected in 633
Epididymitis 1 (0.1) 1 (0.1) (61.6%) patients and 113 (11.0%) had exclusively anterior zone pathology
