Introduction: Acute tubular necrosis (ATN) is a common syndrome following kidney transplantation. In this study, we reviewed systematically the relationship between ATN and kidney transplantation. Materials and Methods: International databases including PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus were considered for search of English articles by Aug 2019. Seven published articles were finally entered into the study. Keywords were ATN, acute kidney injury, kidney transplantation and renal transplantation or a combination of them in the title/abstracts. Results: There were seven published articles (conducted on 2,534 individuals) reviewed in this systematic review consisted of two retrospective, three prospective studies and two clinical trial studies. Conclusion: The administration of cyclosporine immediately following kidney transplantation is a predicting factor for development of ATN. According to the results, ATN can be associated with kidney transplantation, especially transplanted from deceased donors.

Introduction: This study was aimed to review the complications of the laparoscopic adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma. Materials and Methods: International databases including PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus were considered for search of English articles by 24 May 2019. Seventeen published articles were finally entered into the study. Keywords were adrenalectomy, laparoscopy, chromaffin, PC12 cells, pheochromocytoma and children or a combination of them in the title and abstracts. 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. It is suggested to undergo partial adrenalectomy, which provides steroid independent at long-term follow up.
