Owing to this evidence, we planned a retrospective population-based study to evaluate our experience of a transrectal prostate biopsy (TR-PB) approach and studied the impact on the complication rate and outcomes in patients undergoing KT with suspected prostate cancer (PCa). Methods: We collected data from KT patients who underwent PB with a transrectal approach. One week and two weeks after the PB, patients\u2019 information was collected regarding possible complications during the post-biopsy period. Results: A total of 121 patients were included in this study. Among them, Group 1 was composed of 59 patients undergoing TR-PB with an ultrasound (US) standard technique, and Group 2 consisted of 62 patients undergoing TR-PB with an MRI-US cognitive technique. We observed a 28.9% Clavien\u2013Dindo grade \u2264 2 of early side effect rates (mostly rectal bleeding and other minor hematuria), with a very low rate of hospital re-admission for acute urinary retention (3.3%); only one man required hospitalization for rectal bleeding, and there were no major complications. Conclusions: We can affirm that TR-PB can be a safe procedure with a low risk of severe complications when performed by skilled specialists with a standardized procedural pathway.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics14030266","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,25]],"date-time":"2024-01-25T08:44:07Z","timestamp":1706172247000},"page":"266","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Transrectal Prostate Biopsy Approach in Men Undergoing Kidney Transplant: A Retrospective Cohort Study at Three Referral Academic Centers"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8471-9965","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lucio","family":"Dell\u2019Atti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, University-Hospital of Marche, 60126 Ancona, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Viktoria","family":"Slyusar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pain Therapy Center, Division of Anesthesia and Intensive Care, University-Hospital of Marche, 60126 Ancona, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Piero","family":"Ronchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, University-Hospital of Marche, 60126 Ancona, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stefano","family":"Manno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, University-Hospital Renato Dulbecco, 88100 Catanzaro, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chiara","family":"Cambise","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency, University-Hospital Gemelli IRCSS, 00168 Roma, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"85","article-title":"Prostate Cancer Screening and Management in Solid Organ Transplant Candidates and Recipients","volume":"21","author":"Becher","year":"2019","journal-title":"Rev.
