Core Tip	Perioperative advancements has made operating on the elderly more safe, however, aging involves functional reserve loss and older patients often present with co-morbidities. Regional may prove instrumental and permit operations on those who are not ideal candidates, reduce incidence of adverse effects, optimize pain control, provide medical care alternatives and may reduce financial impact on healthcare systems (early ambulation, shorter hospital stay). Understanding of aging, together with improvements in regional will make it safe to operate on the elderly with reduced morbidity and mortality. Regional plays an important role in pain control, decreases management complications and can reduce healthcare costs.
