INTRODUCTION: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of medical research with the exposition that the colorectal surgeon has in the Brazilian colorectal society national congress (SBCP).MEHTODS: We selected all the Brazilian presenters from conferences and round tables sessions of the last 5 national congresses. Presenter's number of publications in journals indexed in Medline and Lilacs were compared to non-presenters surgeons randomly selected. The research included years 1965 to 2005. Groups were selected respecting age and state.RESULTS: Thirteen congress participants and 88 presenters were selected and compared with 102 non-presenters from the SBCP. Presenters published significantly more scientific papers than non-presenters surgeons. More visibility were observed in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais state (71,8%, 6,5% and 6,5% of the presenters respectively), and more research activity was observed in doctors graduated 20 to 40 years ago. The vast majority of publications were printed in national journals, especially in the SBCP journal (near 45%).CONCLUSION: The doctor exposition as a presenter in the Brazilian National SBCP Congress and publication volume is correlated.
