ABSTRACT CONTENT

  • Abstracts must be written in English. The Scientific Committee reserves the right to edit abstracts where the English structure makes comprehension difficult.
  • Abstracts must be comprised of:
    • A title
    • Author names: First name(s) and last name(s). Full names are required
    • The affiliation (only one), including country, of each author
    • Any abbreviations should be defined where first mentioned.
    • A body structured under Introduction/Background, Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion.
      (Please also provide evidence of ethical approval and funding acknowledgments if any.)
  • A maximum of 300 words.
  • Avoid text in bold or italics.
  • Statements such as “results will be discussed” or “data will be presented” will not be accepted.
  • Abstracts must contain original scientific data collected by the author(s).
  • All reports must be based on completed work. No “in progress” studies will be accepted.

FIGURES

  • A MAXIMUM OF 6 FIGURES are allowed and must be uploaded separately.
  • Figure(s) must be numbered clearly (eg. Figure 1).
  • Figure(s) should be cited in the abstract to which they belong.
  • Figure(s) formats: .jpeg, png.
  • A minimum resolution of 72 dpi is required.

EDITING

  • Authors are allowed to edit each submitted abstract until the submission deadline.
  • Abstracts will not be edited and proofread by the committee.
  • Obvious mistakes may be corrected and the abstracts will be amended to house style as appropriate.

RESUPPLIES AND ADDITIONS

  • Resupplies, different versions of abstracts, or instructions to delete after submission will be considered depending on the timeframe.

NOTIFICATION

  • Notification of acceptance including details of the presentation format will be sent out on 8 August 2024.
  • There are three categories of presentations available – oral, e-poster, or video. As presentation slots are limited, some abstracts may be reallocated to different formats.
  • Questions about the abstract submission process can be directed to secretariat@worldcongresshernia.com.

TERMS & CONDITIONS

  • The Scientific Committee reserves the right to make the final decision about the abstract acceptance and its scheduling into the program based on topics and time constraints.
