Results: There were more than 647 individuals reviewed in this systematic review of 17 published articles consisted of 16 retrospective studies and one prospective study. Conclusion: According to the results, laparoscopic adrenalectomy can be used safely with a short hospital stay and less hemorrhagia, short time of surgery and low-risk of recurrence for the management of pediatric adrenal pathology.
