If everything goes well, you should not have to stay in the hospital after a prostate biopsy.  If the procedure is performed late in the day and/or there are complications, then you may need to stay one night in the hospital.  Usually, a prostate biopsy is an outpatient procedure.  
Normally sent home the same day.
