ABSTRACT Introduction The purpose of this retrospective bibliometric study was to assess the discrepancies between coloproctology surgery meeting abstracts and subsequent full-length manuscript publications. Methods Abstracts presented at the Brazilian Congress of Coloproctology Surgery from 2015 to 2019 were compared with matching manuscript publications. Discrepancies between the abstract and therefore the subsequent manuscript were categorized as major (changes within the purpose, methods, study design, sample size, statistical analysis, results, and conclusions) and minor (changes within the title, authorship, and number of female authors) variations. Results The conversion rate of abstracts in published manuscripts was 6,9% (121 abstracts). There were inconsistencies between the study title (66,1%), authorship (69,5%), study design (3,3%), sample size (39,2%), statistical analysis (24,8%), results (25,6%), and conclusions (12,4%) of manuscripts compared with their corresponding meeting abstracts. Conclusion As changes occur before manuscript publication of coloproctology surgery meeting abstracts, caution should be exercised in referencing abstracts or altering surgical practices based on abstracts content. fulllength full length publications 201 methods authors variations 69 6 9 6,9 121 (12 . abstracts) 66,1%, 661 66,1% , 66 1 (66,1%) 69,5%, 695 69,5% 5 (69,5%) 3,3%, 33 3,3% 3 (3,3%) 39,2%, 392 39,2% 39 2 (39,2%) 24,8%, 248 24,8% 24 8 (24,8%) 25,6%, 256 25,6% 25 (25,6%) 12,4% 124 12 4 (12,4% content 20 6, (1 66,1 (66,1% 69,5 (69,5% 3,3 (3,3% 39,2 (39,2% 24,8 (24,8% 25,6 (25,6% 12,4 (12,4 ( 66, (66,1 69, (69,5 3, (3,3 39, (39,2 24, (24,8 25, (25,6 12, (12, (66, (69, (3, (39, (24, (25, (66 (69 (3 (39 (24 (25 (6 (2
