While there is a plenty of literature in recent times regarding the anesthetic management of COVID-positive patients for various surgeries, there is a paucity of publications on the concerns and anesthetic implications of COVID-19 recovered patients, posted for major oncology surgery. We, hereby, present a geriatric case of post-COVID-19 recovered patient posted for radical cystectomy following chemotherapy. These patients are immunosuppressed due to cancer per se as well as because of concurrent chemotherapy, and hence, they may have a stormy course of COVID-19 infection. Since, COVID-19 affects multiple organs, preoperative evaluation must thoroughly investigate all the systems. Anesthetic management and operating theatre preparedness for such cases is discussed in brief. }, URL ={https://www.ijhas.in/article.asp?issn=2278-344X;year=2016;volume=5;issue=2;spage=115;epage=117;aulast=Singh;t=6}, eprint ={https://www.ijhas.in/article.asp?issn=2278-344X;year=2016;volume=5;issue=2;spage=115;epage=117;aulast=Singh;t=6} }
