Thank you for your submission.

The organizing committee of the 50th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Pediatric Surgeons welcomes active pediatric surgeons from overseas to submit original abstracts in all clinical and basic science related research/experience on pediatric surgery. Abstracts will be selected as either oral or poster presentations during the International Sessions at the meeting. Presenting authors may submit a manuscript for consideration for publication in Pediatric Surgery International (PSI) the official journal of the Japanese Society of Pediatric Surgeons. Please see a copy of this year's PSI (Japanese Issue) or read the section on PSI (Japanese issue), 2013 regarding instruction for authors on manuscript submission for PSI.

As 50th anniversary of JSPS, we will specially have a number of joint-sessions with WOFAPS on the International Sessions, and request for some oral presentations.

Surgeons from overseas under age of 40 who submit abstracts, as well as manuscripts for consideration for publication into PSI, the official journal of the Japanese Society of Pediatric Surgeons, can apply for the travel grant by the Abstract Submission Form. The maximum number of grants available is 10, and each grant will be worth US$1,000. For more detailed information, please read the section on Travel Grant.

Every topic related to pediatric surgical management and basic science research will be considered and discussed but some topics are more favored. The following topics are given special attention and will be presented and discussed in special sessions.
