International Sessions

The organizing committee of the 57th Annual Congress of the Japanese Society of Pediatric Surgeons (JSPS) welcomes the submission of original abstracts from authors based outside of Japan about any clinical or basic scientific research/experience or case reports related to pediatric surgery and pediatric urology. Abstracts will be selected for either oral presentation during the "International Session" of the Congress or as a poster presentation. Authors of abstracts selected for either oral or poster presentation may submit a manuscript to the Publications Committee for possible publication in the Japanese Society of Pediatric Surgeons (JSPS) issue of Pediatric Surgery International (PSI). Please see a copy of this year's JSPS issue of PSI or read the information provided by PSI on their website regarding instructions for submitting manuscripts.
