Laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy can be performed in octogenarians with complication rates similar to those in younger patients. Similarly, the outcomes of laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy for oncological control do not differ significantly between octogenarians and younger patients. This procedure is safe and effective for selected octogenarians.
