The invention relates to a device forming transrectal probe. This device, forming transrectal probe (10) is characterized in that it comprises a hollow probe body (12) made of a flexible self-supporting polymer material whose degree of flexibility is determined so as to enable it to comply with the shape of the rectum (R) while having substantially no compression effect on the rectum (R) when inserted therein. Preferably, this degree of flexibility is defined by a harness on the Shore A scale of less than 90. The invention makes it possible to obtain an accurate, safe and reliable positioning of a detection or therapeutic treatment instrument, level with the organ to be observed or treated, in particular the prostate (P).
