Since publication of the article, concerns were raised by a reader regarding the lack of recorded patient consent to publish. Upon further investigation, it was determined that written consent for the publication was not obtained by the authors. The authors were contacted for an explanation and confirmed written consent for the publication was not obtained.
As this represents a breach of the journal’s editorial policies, we are therefore retracting the article. The corresponding author listed in this publication has been informed.
