Is your work a fit? Check before you submit

  1. Confirm that the work concerns hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery or medicine.
  2. Ensure the abstract reports results, including patient numbers, outcomes and follow-up where relevant.
  3. Describe surgical techniques and selection criteria clearly enough for reviewers to judge them.
  4. Check abstract categories and formatting rules on the official congress website.
  5. Prepare a complete, co-author-approved abstract before 11 April 2027.

Why This Conference Matters

Hepato-pancreato-biliary diseases, including liver and pancreatic cancers, place significant demands on health systems in the Asia-Pacific region, and surgical and medical management continues to evolve with minimally invasive techniques and multidisciplinary care. This biennial regional congress gathers surgeons, hepatologists, oncologists and other specialists to compare experience and outcomes. Presenting there allows authors to share results with colleagues managing similar patient populations and to build collaborations across the region.
