Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
[Comparison of two methods of local anaesthesia prior to transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsies].
To compare the analgesic efficacy of rectal administration of Lidocaïne gel with Lidocaïne periprostatic infiltration prior to transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsies. ⋯ Rectal administration of Lidocaïne gel and infiltration of Lidocaïne lead to a comparable level of anaesthesia during prostatic biopsies procedure. However, the Lidocaïne gel, being both safe and simple, tends to maintain a better comfort of the patient 30 minutes after the end of the biopsies.
