Findings from an international survey of urology trainee experience with prostate biopsy

A survey was conducted among 658 urology trainees in the US and Europe to assess their exposure to transperineal prostate biopsy (TP-Bx) and intent to use it in practice. The results showed that less than half of the trainees reported exposure to TP-Bx, with significant variation among countries. Those who had exposure to TP-Bx during training were more likely to intend to use it in their practice. The study suggests that a minimum requirement of TP-Bx cases during urological training may increase familiarity and adoption of this biopsy approach
