  • 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.
