  • Only electronically submitted abstracts are accepted.

Once you have clicked on "Finish" at the end of the process, a confirmation e-mail with your abstract number will be sent to the e-mail address you entered on the first page of the abstract submission process. Please contact the Congress Secretariat at congress@sicot.org if you did not receive a confirmation.

The material submitted must not have been published or presented at any national or international meeting before this one.

Submission of an abstract implies that the presenting author will register for and attend the Congress in Rio de Janeiro to present the abstract either as an oral presentation or as an e-poster if it is accepted.

The SICOT Congress Scientific Advisory Committee (CSAC) reserves the right to change the topic and the form of presentation (oral/e-poster) of the abstract or to reject it.
