    Instructional Course: How to Start Transperineal Prostate Biopsy Under Local Anaesthesia in Your Clinic: a Crash Course

    Saturday, November 1, 2025
    11:15 - 12:45 GMT+0

      Chair(s)

    • Peter Chiu

      Associate Professor
      The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong

    Around the world, transrectal prostate biopsy is gradually being replaced by transperineal (TP) biopsy due to significantly less septic complications. However, traditional TP biopsy is usually done under general or spinal anaesthesia and is associated with higher anaesthetic risk and extra resources. TP biopsy under local anaesthesia (LA) has been proven to be well tolerated. This course focuses on the basics of TP biopsy under LA and the various means that we can perform systematic and MRI-guided TP biopsies. This serves to empower the participants to transform from TR to TP route of prostate biopsy under LA.

    Learning Objectives :

    At the end of this session, attendees should be able to:
    • Understand the latest advances in the diagnosis (biopsy) of prostate cancer.
    • Understand the benefits of transperineal prostate biopsy.
    • Learn the principles of local anaesthesia in transperineal prostate biopsy.
    • Acknowledge the various ways and platforms to perform systematic and MRI-guided targeted prostate biopsy.
