Prostate biopsy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. In order to successfully and effectively complete the biopsy, clinicians should not only select the correct puncture method, but also pay attention to the pain control of patients undergoing puncture. It is necessary to select a reasonable anesthetic method for biopsy. The pain during biopsy comes from the skin, muscle and other structures in the puncture approach, and also comes from the prostate capsule. Therefore, the anesthesia emphasis of transperineal and transrectal biopsy approaches will also be different. The use of appropriate anesthesia is of great significance to improve the patient's cooperation and ensure the success rate of biopsy. With the continuous maturity of the technology and concept of prostate biopsy, a single anesthesia method has been unable to meet the actual anesthetic needs of biopsy, and the use of multi-site and multi-phase combined anesthesia for different sources of pain has become the mainstream anesthetic option.
前列腺穿刺活检是诊断前列腺癌的金标准。为了保证活检成功、有效地完成，临床医师既要选择正确的穿刺方法，也要关注穿刺患者的疼痛控制，即选择合理的麻醉方式。活检时的疼痛一是来自穿刺入路中皮肤、肌肉等结构，二是来自前列腺包膜，因此，经会阴和经直肠两种活检途径的麻醉侧重点也有所不同，采用恰当的麻醉方式对提升患者配合度和保证活检成功率有十分重要的意义。随着前列腺穿刺活检的技术和理念不断成熟，单一的麻醉方式已经不能满足实际活检的麻醉需求，针对不同的疼痛来源采用多位点多时相的联合麻醉将会成为主流的麻醉选择。.
