Transrectal ultrasonography, or TRUS in short, is a method of creating an image of organs in the pelvis, most commonly used to perform an ultrasound-guided needle biopsy evaluation of the prostate gland in men with elevated prostate-specific antigen or prostatic nodules on digital rectal exam.
Transrectal biopsy is a biopsy procedure in which a sample of tissue is removed from the prostate using a thin needle that is inserted through the rectum and into the prostate. [1]
Prostate biopsy is a procedure in which small hollow needle-core samples are removed from a man's prostate gland to be examined for the presence of prostate cancer.It is typically performed when the result from a PSA blood test is high. [1]
Hesitancy [8] (worsened if bladder is very full) [9] Terminal dribbling [8] Incomplete voiding [8] Urinary retention [10] Overflow incontinence (occurs in chronic retention) [10] Episodes of near retention [10] As the symptoms are common and non-specific, LUTS is not necessarily a reason to suspect prostate cancer.

BPH is normally initially treated medically through alpha antagonists such as tamsulosin, or 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors such as finasteride and dutasteride.If medical treatment does not reduce a patient's urinary symptoms, a TURP may be considered following a careful examination of the prostate or bladder through a cystoscope.
Following this initiative the ACR, ESUR, and the AdMeTech Foundation formed a Joint Steering Committee, and by 2016 published a second version of PI-RADS (v.2) in European Urology. [4] This paper enabled acceptance of the urologists of prostate MRI and was awarded “Best clinical scientific paper of 2016 in European Urology”.
Urology Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) syndrome is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of a transurethral resection of the prostate procedure. It occurs as a consequence of the absorption of the fluids used to irrigate the bladder during the operation into the prostatic venous sinuses. [ 1 ]
