The treatment for prostate abscesses includes a combination of antimicrobial therapy and surgical drainage of the abscess cavity. There is a lack of published cases involving treatment options for a prostate abscess after a failed transurethral resection of the prostate.

The patient was successfully managed with a needle drainage of his prostate abscess utilizing a transrectal ultrasound guided needle decompression his prostate abscess.
