Please read all of the following important key points:

Abstracts must be 400 words or less. Images can be included but may reduce the allowable word count.

No names should be included in the abstract title or text. Nor should the abstract title appear in the text. Names will be automatically hidden from the Scientific Program Committees during abstract review and will be automatically inserted and properly formatted upon publication.

Every author for whom an email address is provided will be automatically informed of the unique ID numbers and passwords assigned to their abstracts. Abstracts may be viewed and modified at any time between submission and the deadline, using the assigned ID# and password.

The presenting author will be notified of the acceptance status of the abstract(s) via email. Please make sure your e-mail address is current and correct in order to receive continuous notifications relating to your abstract. No other form of notification will be provided.

The general criteria for consideration of abstracts by the Scientific Program Committees are originality, clarity and concise presentation. Research papers will be additionally evaluated for purpose of study, methodology/design, results and conclusions. Multiple entries of the same abstract to more than one program (AAHS, ASRM, or ASPN) are NOT allowed.

*NEW THIS YEAR: MEMBERS FORUM PRESENTATIONS

This year the AAHS will feature a new session "Members Forum". This is a rapid-fire session with 2 minute presentations and will give members an opportunity to present a new idea, innovative procedure or surgical tip. Abstracts do not need to follow the format of a scientific paper but must clearly state the purpose of the presentation.
