摘　　要：Background Freehand transperineal prostate biopsy(TPPBx)using a coaxial needle technique offers an alternative to probe-mounted freehand or template-guided techniques in the diagnosis of prostate cancer(PCa).It only requires the same equipment used for transrectal ultrasound-guided(TRUS)biopsy.Our study is the first in Malaysia to report this experience and its outcomes.We aim to determine PCa detection rate and pain tolerability of freehand TPPBx utilizing a coaxial needle under local anesthesia(LA).Methods Institutional review board approval was obtained from National Medical Research Register(NMRR ID-21-02052-VIL).We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent TPPBx between August 2020 and April 2022.Records were reviewed for patients’characteristics,prostate volume,prostate-specific antigen(PSA)results,biopsy results and pain tolerability.Data was analyzed to determine PCa and clinically significant prostate cancer(csPCa)detection rate.LA was achieved using perineal skin infiltration and a periprostatic nerve block.The commonly used standard side-firing transrectal ultrasound with its Prostate Biplane Transducer was used as an imaging guide.The principles of the Ginsburg protocol were followed.Pain tolerability was assessed using a visual analog scale.Results A total of 55 patients with elevated PSA levels underwent freehand TPPBx under LA.The mean age was 67.3 years,the median PSA was 14.2 ng/mL,and the median PSA density(PSAD)was 0.33 ng/mL/cc.The optimal PSAD cutoff for predicting csPCa was 0.35 ng/mL/cc(area under the curve[AUC],0.792;sensitivity,87.5%;specificity,69.2%).PCa was detected in 24 patients(43.6%),of whom 16(29.1%)had csPCa.The median pain scores during LA infiltration and biopsy were four and two,respectively,which were significant different(P<0.05).TPPBx exhibited an infection rate of zero.Conclusion The PCa detection rate and patient tolerability of freehand TPPBx using a coaxial needle are similar to those of a contemporary published series.The use of existing
