The ASOHNS ASM 2026 is accepting abstracts for the below categories. You must indicate the paper type when submitting online. 

The ASOHNS ASM 2026 Organising Committee requests authors to submit abstracts in the following disciplines:

1. Authors of research papers who wish to have their abstracts considered for inclusion must submit their abstract electronically via the meeting website having regard to the published closing date. Abstracts submitted after the closing date will not be considered.
2.  The title should be brief and explicit.
3.  Research papers should follow the format – Aims, Methodology, Results, Conclusion.
4.  Excluding title, authors (full given first name and family name) and institution, the abstract must not exceed 2,000 characters and spaces (approximately 300 words). In MS Word, this count can be determined from the ‘Review menu’. Any references must be included in this allowance. If you exceed this limit, the excess limit will NOT appear in the meeting publication.
5.  Include details of main institution only.
6.  Abbreviations should be used only in common terms. For uncommon terms, the abbreviation should be given in brackets after the first full use of the word.
7.  Presentations (slide and video) will only have electronic PowerPoint support. Audio visual instructions will be provided to all successful authors.
8.  A 50-word CV is required from each presenter to facilitate the Chair’s introduction. Excess text will not be captured by the system.
9.  The acceptance, timing, presentation and discussion of all papers and posters are at the discretion of the Organising Committee. Notification of the timing of presentations will appear in correspondence sent to all successful authors.
10. Tables, diagrams, graphs etc. CANNOT be accepted in the abstract submission. This is due to the limitations of the computer software program.
11. Please do not type your abstract directly into the submission page. Being internet based, each page on the submission site can only be open for 15 minutes before closing. Type your submission on a text document (eg. MS Word) and copy and paste it into the abstract text field.
12. AUTHORS MUST BE REGISTRANTS OF THE MEETING TO PRESENT AND FOR THEIR ABSTRACT TO APPEAR IN THE PUBLICATIONS.
13. Authors are required to declare conflict of interest if applicable. Failure or refusal to disclose or the inability to resolve the identified conflict will result in the abstract acceptance being withdrawn.
14. Amendments to abstracts after submission are not guaranteed.
15. The submitting author of an abstract will ALWAYS receive an 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 asohnsasm@surgeons.org to determine why a confirmation email was not received.
16. Authors must comply with the Code of Conduct for the meeting.
