Within the available medical literature, there is uniform evidence supporting the use of the PrecisionPoint Transperineal Access System for performing prostate biopsy procedures. The reported cancer detection and infectious complication rates with this device are in line with other methods for performing transperineal prostate biopsy. A unique aspect of the PrecisionPoint device is its ability to facilitate performing transperineal prostate biopsy under local anaesthesia. This factor will likely lead to increased adoption of the beneficial transperineal approach to prostate biopsy.
