Can residents perform transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy with patient comfort comparable to biopsy performed by attending staff urologists
Prostate Cancer & Prostatic Diseases, 09/24/09

Nguyen CT et al. – TRUS biopsy can be performed by adequately trained and supervised resident urologists of all levels, but there is the potential for increased patient pain, particularly with ultrasonic probe insertion and obtaining core biopsies.

Such data indicate that urological resident training can be accomplished without compromising patient care and comfort.
