What are the complications seen after the mapping biopsy?
The mapping biopsy is performed under light sedation, you are discharged from hospital the same day and the majority of patients recover within 24 hours. However, few patients (5-10%) experience bleeding in the urine that is usually self-limiting within 24-48 hours. We did not have any cases of infection, however, it is a potential risk for any invasive procedure, even when minimal.
