A laparoscopic approach to the adrenal gland was introduced in 1992. Since then many studies on adult populations evaluating the safety and results of laparoscopic surgery have been published. A laparoscopic approach to adrenal surgery in children still remains challenging. During the last 20 years we have observed a tendency to minimize surgical trauma that challenged many surgeons to seek new approaches in laparoscopic surgery. Single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS), in which all instruments are placed through a single, small incision, might be a step towards less invasive surgical procedures. We present two cases of paediatric patients treated in our department with single incision laparoscopic adrenalectomy (SILA). According to our best knowledge this report includes the first such procedure performed in Poland.
