OBJECTIVES: To measure needle tip deflection during transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) prostate biopsy and evaluate predictors for needle tip deflection. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Analysis of 568 prostate biopsies obtained from 51 consecutive patients who underwent a standard 12-core TRUS guided prostate biopsy. TRUS guided prostate biopsies were performed using BK flex500, with a side-fire biplane probe. Each biopsy core image was captured and clinical data were recorded prospectively. The angle between the expected trajectory of the needle and actual needle course was measured using the longitudinal view of the captured image. The distance between expected and actual needle tip was calculated. We measured median and interquartile needle tip deflection rate stratified by side and location (apex, midgland, base). Univariable and multivariable linear regressions analysis were performed. RESULTS: The overall median needle tip deflection was 1.77 mm (IQR 1.35-2.47). Location did not significantly alter needle deflection measurements. On multivariable linear regression analysis, higher prostate volume (B = 0.007 95%, CI 0.004, 0.011; p < 0.001) and the right sided biopsy (B = 0.191 95%, CI 0.047, 0.336; p = 0.010) emerged as predictors of higher needle tip deflection. CONCLUSIONS: To the best of our knowledge this is the first study to measure needle tip deflection during TRUS guided prostate biopsies. We demonstrated that larger prostate size and biopsy side may affect the accuracy of biopsies. These results may have clinical implication to those performing targeted biopsies.
