Clinical Trial: Routine Probe Compression After Transrectal Prostate Biopsy(RPCAB) to Reduce Bleeding and Infectious Complications : A Randomized Controlled Trial

U.S., April 25 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07550985) titled 'Routine Probe Compression After Transrectal Prostate Biopsy(RPCAB) to Reduce Bleeding and Infectious Complications : A Randomized Controlled Trial' on April 19.

Brief Summary: Hematuria (up to 50%) and rectal bleeding (up to 30%) are common complications following transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy. Although most cases are mild, some require additional intervention. Short-duration compression has been shown to achieve hemostasis in cases of post-biopsy bleeding, suggesting that routine probe compression may reduce bleeding complications. Post-biopsy bleeding may also be associated with an increased risk of subsequent inf...
