Abstrakt: Purpose: Prostate biopsy is mostly performed through the transrectal route worldwide and infectious complications may occur in up to 7% of cases. Therefore, alternative strategies to decrease infectious complications are needed. Our aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of intrarectal povidone-iodine cleansing plus formalin disinfection of the needle tip in decreasing infectious complications after transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy. Materials and Methods: We conducted a prospective, single-center, phase III trial in patients undergoing transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy randomized 1:1 to rectal mucosa cleansing with gauze soaked in 10% povidone-iodine solution wrapped around the gloved index finger and needle tip disinfection by immersion in a 10% formalin solution before each puncture vs control group. The primary end point was the rate of infectious complications defined as 1 or more of the following events: fever, urinary tract infection, or sepsis. Results: Overall, 633 patients were randomized to the intervention group and 623 to the control group. The infectious complication rate was 3.9% in the intervention group and 6.4% in the control group (RR 0.61; 95% CI 0.36-0.99; P = .049). The rates of sepsis, urinary tract infection, and fever were 0.3% vs 0.5% (P = .646), 2.3% vs 4.1% (P = .071), and 1.3% vs 1.9% (P = .443), respectively. The positive urine culture rate was 5.2% in the intervention group and 9% in the control group (RR 0.57; P = .015). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups regarding the occurrence of noninfectious adverse events. Conclusions: Intrarectal povidone-iodine cleansing plus formalin disinfection of the biopsy needle tip was associated with a reduction in infectious complications after transrectal prostate biopsy.
