Abstract Introduction Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) biopsy is the standard investigation of suspected prostate cancer within the United Kingdom. TRUS biopsy has significant risks of associated complications, the most serious being sepsis. An audit was designed to evaluate the rate of sepsis following TRUS biopsy within a district general hospital setting. Method All men who underwent TRUS biopsy over a four-month period between October 2019 and January 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Standard rate of sepsis for benchmarking was identified as 0.8% as quoted in the European Association of Urology (EAU) prostate cancer guidelines. Results 88 men underwent TRUS biopsy between October and January. Three cases of TRUS biopsy sepsis requiring hospital admission were identified. The rate of sepsis determined was 3.4%. The average length of stay for the cases was 4.7 days. Oral co-trimoxazole was used as the empirical antibiotic prophylaxis pre-procedure in all. Conclusions The rate of sepsis was higher than the figure quoted in EAU guidelines. Routine local audit for TRUS sepsis is necessary to maintain standards and efficacy of prophylaxis, as well as the accurate counselling of patients on the expected risks of the procedure. Consideration should be given to targeted antibiotic prophylaxis based on pre-biopsy rectal swabs.
