Diagnosis and treatment practices of PAs remain widely varied in the literature due to a lack of clear guidelines. Based on the current evidence, we provide recommendations of treatment based on abscess size, patient age, and clinical condition. While smaller abscesses may be suited to antibiotic or TRUS-guided aspiration, transurethral approaches should be considered for larger and more complex abscesses. However, the current evidence remains poor with further research required to determine the optimum treatment modalities for patients.
