    Abstract: A transperineal biopsy guide for use with a tubular structure and a transrectal probe. The tubular structure is sized to receive a biopsy instrument therethrough. The transperineal biopsy guide includes a mount attachable to the transrectal probe, a stabilizing structure extending from the mount, and a platform pivotable relative to the stabilizing structure about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the probe when the mount is attached to the probe. When the tubular structure is received by the platform and the mount is attached to the transrectal probe, the tubular structure can be positioned in the sagittal plane of the transrectal probe in a plurality of angular orientations relative to the longitudinal axis of the transrectal probe via pivoting of the platform relative to the stabilizing structure.

    Abstract: A method of performing a transperineal biopsy procedure including sliding a displacement member of a biopsy guide relative to a guide member of the biopsy guide such that the displacement member is proximate the perineal access site of the patient. The guide member may be secured to the ultrasound probe, and the guide member may include a pair of guide rails each having a planar top surface. The displacement member may include a platform having a planar bottom surface and at least one needle receiving port for guiding a needle, wherein the planar bottom surface of the platform opposes the planar top surfaces of the pair of guide rails during the sliding of the displacement member relative to the guide member. The method may further include inserting a needle into the perineal access site of the patient.

    Abstract: A method of performing a therapy on a prostate of a patient via transperineal access. The therapy uses an ultrasound probe. The method includes positioning a pair of stabilization members of a needle guide adjacent the perineum. The pair of stabilization members spaced apart from each other and supporting a platform configured to slide along a portion of a length of the pair of stabilization members. The needle guide is coupled to the ultrasound probe. The method further includes coupling an access needle to the platform, and sliding the platform and the access needle relative to the pair of stabilization members and the ultrasound probe so the access needle extends into the perineum. And the method further includes, using the access needle as a conduit, injecting a radiation blocking substance between the rectum and the prostate.
