Physiologic and Anesthetic Considerations in Octogenarians Undergoing Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy

Management Review

Naeem A Soomro Elizabeth Todd Nikhil Vasdev

The number of small renal tumors detected is increasing as imaging becomes both more available and advanced, and as the population ages, with a greater proportion of patients in their 80s emerging with small and treatable renal tumors. The technique of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is emerging and becoming ever more popular in some centers, and is potentially a safer alternative for the elderly due to improved postoperative pain, shorter hospital stay with faster return to preoperative activities, and lower rates of morbidity and mortality. We present a systematic review of the physiologic and anesthetic considerations in octogenarians undergoing the procedure, highlighting special considerations and the need for expertise throughout the multidisciplinary team when dealing with these patients, in order to minimize risk and optimize outcome.
