Hello, I am Prof. Dr. Aykut Recep Aktaş.

As an interventional radiology specialist, I am delighted to offer our patients innovative treatment and diagnostic methods provided by modern medicine. Today, I want to talk to you about a development that fundamentally changes the prostate biopsy process, a source of concern for many men: robotic fusion biopsy.

Is Prostate Biopsy Now Painless with Robotic Fusion Biopsy? Absolutely Yes!

In cases of suspected prostate cancer, a prostate biopsy is a critical step for a definitive diagnosis. Traditional biopsy methods could be a source of anxiety for patients, particularly due to the potential for pain and discomfort. However, robotic fusion biopsy has revolutionised this process, offering our patients both a painless experience and higher diagnostic accuracy.

The Secret to a Painless Experience: High Precision and Advanced Anaesthesia

The fundamental principles behind labelling robotic fusion biopsy as "painless" are as follows:

• Targeted Precision with MR Imaging: While traditional biopsies often rely on random sampling, this is entirely different with robotic fusion biopsy. Prior to the procedure, multi-parametric MR (Magnetic Resonance) images are taken to identify suspicious areas within the prostate with millimetre-level precision. These images are fused with live ultrasound images during the procedure, ensuring pinpoint accuracy in targeting. This minimises unnecessary tissue sampling and allows samples to be taken only from the suspected region.
• Reduced Invasiveness: Thanks to this MR-guided precision, fewer and more accurate samples are taken for the biopsy. This significantly reduces damage to surrounding tissues and, consequently, post-procedure pain, swelling, and the risk of bleeding. A less invasive procedure directly enhances patient comfort.
• Advanced Anaesthesia Techniques: The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia or with light sedation. Thanks to these modern anaesthesia techniques, the patient experiences no pain or discomfort throughout the procedure. Our patients can usually return to their daily activities quickly after the procedure.

All these advantages have made robotic fusion biopsy a groundbreaking method in prostate cancer diagnosis, providing a pain-free experience, high diagnostic accuracy, and superior patient comfort.
