Abstracts submitted after the closing date will not be considered. 
  • Abstract submission is entirely online and paper or facsimile copies will not be accepted. Abstracts will not be submitted by meeting staff on behalf of authors. 
  • The title should be brief and explicit.  
  • Research papers should follow the format: Purpose, Methodology, Results and Conclusion. 
  • Abstracts should not exceed 250 words (excluding the title, author(s) and presenters’ name). Any references must be included in this allowance. If you exceed this limit, the excess text will NOT appear in the final program. 
  • Include author(s) and indicate presenting author. 
  • Include details of main institution. 
  • Abbreviations should be used only for common terms. For uncommon terms, the abbreviation should be given in brackets after the first full use of the word. 
  • Presentations (slide and video) will only have electronic PowerPoint support. Audio visual instructions will be included in correspondence sent to all successful authors. 
  • A 50 word CV is required from each presenter to facilitate their introduction by the session chair. 
  • The timing (presentation and discussion) of all papers is at the discretion of the organising committee. 
  • Tables, diagrams, graphs, etc CANNOT be accepted in the abstract submission. This is due to the limitations of the computer software program. 
  • Authors must be registrants at the meeting to present and for their abstract to appear in the final program and on the meeting website.  
  • The submitting author of an abstract will ALWAYS receive email confirmation of receipt of the abstract into the submission site. If you do not receive a confirmation email within 24 hours it may mean the abstract has not been received. In this circumstance, please email lsa@surgeons.org to determine why a confirmation email has not been received.

Electronic PowerPoint presentations must be provided to the speaker support staff at Luna Park Sydney. Presentations are required a minimum of 2 hours prior to the commencement of the assigned session.
