So, Eric, where are you doing the procedures? I do in the office. We all do them in the same, I'd say, as most urologists, transrectally. And I think that still most of us are doing those. There are certainly times, though, where one of my other partners happens to be the one who's the robotics guy. He is doing MRI fusion biopsies in the OR. And so the

This way, at least we have one guy for now who's got sort of building the most experience and can really focus on it. Because I think I don't feel comfortable doing a biopsy, even with cognitive fusion on an MRI and as good as the studies have shown. But if I've got a guy who's got an 80 to whatever, 150 gram prostate, my margin of error and my sampling error is going to be much higher.

So at that point, I'm going to want him to really do a fusion biopsy to get a better result for the patient.

I like to do just basically a standard prep like we would for a transrectal biopsy with just three days of oral antibiotics and a shot of Rocephin. We get the patient on the table. We have stirrups. We use the G stirrups, which allow you basically their, I think a gynecologist created that really great invention.

They're a boot that slides on to the standard heel stirrups, and it allows you to kind of really almost have like a standard stirrup like we use in the OR that just supports the leg a lot better and doesn't kill someone's heel, even in shoes and so on.

We will shave the perineum if they're real hairy, and basically we will tape and elevate the scrotum up and out of the way, make the perineum a little taut, just a little easier to work with. And I think that's the setup. Is that kind of where you wanted to go with that?

I don't think so. I don't think I've really seen any effects directly that I would attribute to the spacer implant or the marker implant and so on. Just like Nadim, I do that the exact same time and always the markers first. I'm numbing them up. The transrectal probe goes in. I do the deep needle.
