Submission of an abstract implies that the presenting author will register for and attend the Congress in Rome 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.
