As the worldwide population ages, an increasing number of elderly patients with renal malignancy are considered for laparoscopic radical renal surgery. We present a systematic review of physiological and anesthetic considerations in octogenarians undergoing this procedure. We highlight the importance of overall assessment of risk has been made; discussion must take place to devise the safest perioperative course between anesthetist, surgeon, patient, and where appropriate an interventionist. Age itself should not deter this type of surgery; however it should invoke the need for special perioperative planning and care.
