This study highlights the complexity, duration and impact on patient experience of the current IGABT workflow. Patient reported pre-treatment pain and anxiety can help identify patients that may benefit from additional support. Research and implementation of measures aiming at shortening the overall procedure duration, which may include logistical, staffing and technological aspects, should be prioritized.
