Abstract
I read the article “Treatment of prostatic abscess: Role
of transrectal ultrasound guided needle aspiration” by
Yadav et al. with interest (1). The alternative treatment of
Yadav et al. seems interesting and remains a good possibility
for patients without septic disease. Aspiration of
the abscess is short and more comfortable than drainage
for several hours. In the presented cases of Yadav et al.,
this treatment was enough, however, I think this treatment
is not necessary for all the severe cases.
