“…[7,8] Various factors have influenced the decrease in incidence of prostatic abscess especially routine and widespread use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and better control of chronic diseases. [9][10][11] Finding spontaneous abscess drainageto the urethra, [9] and peritonitis, [12] is sporadic today. It is thought that the retrograde flow of contaminated urine within the prostate during micturition is the most prevalent pathogenic factor.…”

Context and Aim:Prostatic abscess is an unusual condition. The prevalence of prostatic abscess is about 0.5% of all prostatic diseases. The purpose of the study is to present and discuss the role of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) in the management of prostatic abscess. Settings and Design: Retrospective study. Materials and Methods:We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all eight patients diagnosed and treated for prostatic abscess in the last threeyears. TRUS was used for diagnosis in all cases. Four patients had TRUS guided aspiration for management of prostatic abscess. Data collected regarding etiology, clinical features, investigations and treatment was compared with the available literature. Results: The age of patients ranged from 18-65 yrs (mean 47.12 yrs). Out of the eight patients, six were diabetics. TRUS revealed one or more hypoechoic areas within the prostate in all the patients. Successful treatment of prostatic abscess with TRUS guided needle aspiration was done in all fourpatients in whom it was used. Mean hospitalization time was 9.4 days, and most frequent bacterial agent was S. aureus. Conclusions: TRUS is useful in diagnosis as well as in guidance for aspiration of such abscesses. TRUS guided needle aspiration is an effective method for treating prostatic abscess. Most of the patients are diabetics and usually grow Staphaureus. So an antibiotic with staphylococcal coverage should be used empirically. Abstract Minimally-invasive management of prostatic abscess:The role of transrectal ultrasound

“…Surgical drainage includes perineal excision and transurethral incision or resection. Both procedures may carry some risk of morbidity (Cytron et al 1988;Thromhill et al 1987). The percutaneous treatment is currently preferred to surgery because of its lower risk of complications (Thromhill et al 1987;Kuligowska et al 1995).…”

“…The prostate is sensitive in 35% of cases [8]. The progress of imaging has facilitated the diagnosis and treatment of the prostatic abscess [1,4,9,5,6]. Transrectal ultrasound occupies a prominent place, showing a hypo-echogenic zone at the beginning, which becomes frankly trans-sonic at the stage of collection and sometimes a posterior reinforcement [1,10].…”
