    The incidence of UTIs after TRUSPB increased from 6.1% to 9.7% between 2010 and 2019, with serious complications including hospitalization and sepsis.

    Current antibiotic prophylaxis recommendations for TRUSPB vary, with the European Association of Urology advising against fluoroquinolones due to safety concerns.

    The study aimed to assess the relationship between antibiotic prophylaxis types and the risk of infective complications in patients undergoing TRUSPB.
