“…MRI is even being studied prior to biopsy, which is perhaps the last frontier in prostate imaging (6). The attractiveness of MRI is the potential to reduce the need for prostate needle biopsy, which is invasive and is associated with significant complications (7)(8)(9)(10). However, the imperfect negative predictive value of MRI for significant prostate cancer prevents us from leaving out biopsy in men with a normal MRI (2,3).…”

“…The increase in core biopsy templates from 6 to 12 has not been implicated as a risk factor for morbidity [15]. There is no consensus in current literature for protocols regarding the antibiotic based prophylaxis and enemas before TRUS guided prostate biopsy [2]. But in daily practice almost all patients (79% to 81%) receive bowel preparation before the biopsy [14].…”

“…Although some authors indicate that pre-biopsy enemas increase the infectious complications; most investigators suggested that rectal preparation reduces the rate of bacteremia [9,17]. Although the pre-use of antibiotics is a standard procedure for TRUS guided prostate biopsy, there is no sufficient answer for the efficacy of enemas as a monotherapy [2]. Lindert et al reported a reduction in post-biopsy bacteremia with the use of pre-biopsy enema (from 28% to 4%) [18].…”

“…Some authors believe that such preparation might even increase the level of bacteria in the rectum since it liquidizes the feces in the sigmoid colon and also impairs the quality of the sonographic images because of the air inserted during the preparation (18) . Evidences demonstrate that there are no significant difference in the rates of infectious complications among patients submitted or not to bowel preparation, since they have undergone antibiotic prophylaxis (18,19) . Thus, some authors support that bowel preparation increases the cost of the procedure and the discomfort of the patient with no additional benefit.…”
