Abstract
To estimate the results of minimally invasive adrenalectomy in children and compare our data with worldwide results. There were 65 patients aged from 3 months to 17 years with different organic diseases of adrenal glands. Children have undergone surgery for the period since 2003 to 2018. Incidentalomas accounted 33.8% of all resected tumors. Bilateral lesion was diagnosed in 12% of patients. The largest neoplasm (12 cm) was diagnosed in a 9-year-old child. Intraoperative bleeding occurred in 2 patients. Endoscopic surgery did not require conversion in any case. We accumulated unique experience of laparoscopic resection of benign lesions of adrenal glands. Our results are satisfactory and comparable with data of other national and foreign colleagues. Only close collaboration of pediatric surgeons and endocrinologists could lead to successful and safe treatment of these patients. Patients with suspected malignancies should receive treatment at special hospitals with oncological service.
