A Retraction of the Systematic Review Article
By Feng Q, Xin Z, Qiu J and Xu M (2021). Front. Surg. 8:715083. doi: 10.3389/fsurg.2021.715083
The journal and Chief Editors retract the 10 September 2021 article cited above.
“Following publication, the cited article was found to be substantially similar to a previously published study by Feng et al. in Gland Surgery (2021;10(5):1655–1668; doi: 10.21037/gs-20-916). Our investigation, conducted in accordance with Frontiers’ policies, concluded that this similarity was unacceptably high, and the Publisher is retracting the article.
This retraction was approved by the Chief Editors of Frontiers in Surgery and the Chief Executive Editor of Frontiers. The authors have agreed to the retraction.”
