This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/ withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. The article is a duplicate of a paper that has already been published in World J Surg (2014) 38:2223e2230. http://dx.doi.org/ 10.1007/s00268-014-2510-6 One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that the paper is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. As such this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
