The prostate biopsy doesn't take that long to take. However, they need to prepare you with all the ascetic conditions in OR before doing the biopsy. They have to put you in the optimal position for the biopsy also. So, it is a process and a protocol that needs to be follow before taking the biopsies.
The procedure for doing prostate biopsy may take about half hour, depending on the number of cores taken.
Results of biopsy of soft tissues are usually available in 1-2 days. If special studies are or consultation is needed, it may take a week or so.

The procedure itself should take about an hour and results 3-7 days based
Good question probably depends on the operator but I would guess about +/- 20 minutes . I defer to my esteemed urology colleagues
Normally, 1-3 hours.
