Guidelines
Abstracts in different subspecialties of Surgery will be accepted for presentation either as oral papers or as posters (e-poster). You may indicate your preference, but the final decision rests with the Scientific Committee of UPASICON. Case reports will be considered only as posters. Acceptance/rejection and category will be communicated to the presenting author's e-mail. The Scientific Committee's decision is final.
