Prostatic abscess is a rare but severe disease. Conventional therapy is transurethral resection of the prostatic abscess. ⋯ TRUS is a simple, rapid, easily accessible, and accurate method for diagnosis, therapy and follow-up of a prostatic abscess. TRUS-guided perineal drainage of a prostatic abscess is an effective, minimal-invasive and cost-effective treatment without adverse side effects.
