If you go to Mayo Jacksonville (which @hoover58 is talking about)they will not do a Fusion Biopsy transperineally without anesthesia. They will do it transrectal if you do not want or cannot have anesthesia.

The Mayo Jacksonville transrectal is done in an special procedure room. The Transperinial is done in a surgical room with anestheist there. Both are considered outpatient as do not require hospitalization and you are not admitted. Transrectal also comes with an increase in infection rate although not high.

Some have no problems with transrectal without anesthesia and others at facilities that offer transperinal without anesthesia but for me it is a very stressfull and anxiety procedure that the individual should decide what they want. I too feel the anxiety and stress over having it done without anesthesia is not something I want to endure, not the stress and anxiety over it. I had my fusion/biosies done transperinal with anesthesia.

Thank you for this insight. Could you please offer information on how long it took for you to get the Transperinial biopsy appointment scheduled at Mayo Jacksonville? Is your Urologist with the Mayo clinic Jacksonville or were you referred to Mayo from another Urologist? I wonder if it makes a difference.
