Abstract

Rectal bleeding is frequently seen in patients undergoing transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy, but it usually stops spontaneously. We report a case of life-threatening rectal bleeding following this procedure. Bleeding was controlled using an ordinary condom, which was successfully inflated in the rectum over the bleeding site.
