Studies evaluating the tolerance of prostate biopsies demonstrated that moderate to severe pain was associated with the procedure. Large numbers of patients perceive the procedure as painful with major psychological trauma. Still, there is no universally agreed standard of analgesia. Successful pain management should be performed to make TRUS-guided prostate biopsy tolerable for patients. However, standard pain-controlling techniques are used by a small number of urologists today. In this review, the effect of pain and discomfort encountered during prostate biopsies and commonly used analgesia and anesthesia methods are discussed under the light of the literature.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessProstateAnalgesiaUltrasoundTransrectalAnesthesiaReview Article273407411WOS:0002545826000142-s2.0-34447527669Q4N/A
