The 35th International Symposium on Pediatric Surgical Research

Excerpt

Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic and resulting travel restrictions, the 33rd and 34th ISPSR were held on line. We were delighted that after a lapse of 2 years we again had the opportunity to meet face to face to attend the 35th ISPSR held at the Osaka International Conference Centre, Osaka, Japan, from 21 to 23 October, 2022.
