I have used this procedure with no pain and just a little discomfort. Was not put out for the biopsy. I would choose this again since I had had 3 transrectal biopsy' 's previous to this one all proving no cancer while PSA was increasing. I am on Medicare with BCBS and they covered the procedure. If you are going to Mayo I highly recommend them, they are the best. Good luck and would love to hear your decision.

I also had the procedure at Mayo and the discomfort was minimal. I would recommend it without reservation. No sedation was needed, it as it was performed as an outpatient in the clinic with a local anesthetic. It provided accurate diagnostic information for deciding on the treatment options. And, proton therapy is an option at Mayo when appropriate.
