Improved needle design to reduce the risk of infection in transrectal prostate biopsies
(2022) In Lund University, Faculty of Medicine Doctoral Dissertation Series- Abstract
- This thesis addresses infections in prostate biopsy – a global problem. Over 3 million prostate biopsies are performed annually and 3% of men suffer a severe infection. The risk of infection is increasing in parallel with rising antibiotic resistance. By combining clinical knowledge with technical development, this thesis aims to address the risk of infection in a novel way – by redesigning the medical needle that causes the infections.
