Are you asking jc76?
If so I have no idea? I was out (thank God!). I just know I had no irritation, no pain, even days weeks after. I think, but not sure, he took 22 different biopsies. I am off probably a couple either way as don't have the report in front of me as I typed this.
The area they briefed me they were using to access the prostate is called the perineum. Thus the term transperineally biopsies. It is the area between your anus and your Scruton (spell? the sack that your testicles are in).

@jc76 I had the Fusion transperineally biopsy. I was awake and they gave me 4 or 5 lidocaine shots for pain. They use some kind of transponder in your butt and go directly to the lesion as noted on my MRI. They took core samples there and then 12 other “random samples” in other places. It wasn’t painless but I didn’t have any bleeding or infections. Go back to see the dr on Wednesday. 14 cores with 7 positive. Gleason scores all 3+4=7 and one 3+3=6.

That's what we professionals call the "taint" . 😁
