Treatment of Prostatic Abscess: Role of Transrectal Ultrasound Guided Needle Aspiration

The report by Yadav et al. concerned 12 patients with abscesses within the prostate which were treated with transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided needle aspiration (1). Of these 12 patients, 4 had residual abscesses detected in a follow-up TRUS after 1 week and 3 needed further intervention. All patients were treated with antibiotics for 4 weeks. The treatment of acute prostatitis has frequently...

Transrectal Ultrasound Guided Needle Aspiration of a Prostatic Abscess: Salvage Treatment After Failed Transurethral Resection

The treatment for prostate abscesses includes a combination of antimicrobial therapy and surgical drainage of the abscess cavity. There is a lack of published cases involving treatment options for a prostate abscess after a failed transurethral resection of the prostate. This is a case report describing a successful salvage treatment after a failed attempt at abscess drainage by a transurethral...

[Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration].

In the last years, several techniques have been developed to obtain a prompt diagnosis or rule out lung cancer. Endobronchial ultrasound- guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a minimally invasive procedure with a high diagnostic yield for mediastinal and central pulmonary lesions. This procedure is especially useful for lung cancer diagnosis and mediastinal staging. Two differ...
