Abstract
Age itself should not be considered a contraindication to serve as the technique of choice to treat complex reconstructive challengers in older patients. Octogenarian is defined being older than 80 years or more. General surgery practice shows a mortality rate of 5 percent for octogenarians. This is more for those older than 90 years. Older patients are less capable of handling longer water electrolyte imbalances. Renal blood flow drops 50 percent from young adulthood to the age of 80 years.
