@mn281 You are very fortunate to have been able to use this urologist surgeon that developed that procedure to do a transperinal without anesthesia.

My Jacksonville urologist offered to referr me to this individual who deveoped the procedure. You got state of art and newest method for doing MRI/Fusion biopsies. I was told this particular urologist did a lot of research and testing to be able to have this done this way at Mayo. Hopefully he will teach others.

JC76, my transperineal biopsy was performed by a PA at Mayo Rochester, not a specialized surgeon. It is an in-office procedure and was done with local (lidocaine) only. I think this is the standard procedure at Mayo Rochester.
