A prostate biopsy is a medical procedure that involves extracting small samples of potentially abnormal tissue from the prostate, a walnut-sized gland in men. The prostate plays a very crucial role in the production of fluid responsible for supporting and carrying sperm.
The process starts with an experienced doctor like Mourad Abouelleil using a needle to collect some tissue samples from the prostate gland. Dr. Mourad Abouelleil is an experienced urologist who specializes in the field of the urinary system and male sex organs.
If initial tests, such as a PSA blood test or a digital rectal exam, indicate potential prostate cancer, then Dr. Mourad Abouelleil may recommend a prostate biopsy. The procedure entails removing small tissue samples from the prostate for detailed assessment under a microscope to detect the presence of any abnormal cells. If the doctor detects cancer, they will proceed with the most effective and feasible treatment plan for you.
We collect prostate biopsy samples in multiple ways, including the following methods:
Transrectal Biopsy – A needle is passed carefully through the wall of the rectum. The type of biopsy is very common.
Transperineal Biopsy – The procedure involves inserting the needle through the area of skin between the anus and scrotum and a small cut is made in the area of skin (perineum) between the anus and the scrotum. Thereafter, the biopsy needle is inserted through the cut and into the prostate which helps to draw out samples of tissue. The doctor will also use an MRI or CT scan to guide this procedure.
