RETRACTED: A Randomized Clinical Study of Circumcision with a Ring Device Versus Conventional Circumcision

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy).This article has been retracted at the request of the Editors.It has come to the attention of the editors that the data in this article were (1) published previously in the Chinese Journal of Urology (Chin. J. Urol., 32 (2011) 333–335), which the authors failed to acknowledge, and (2) that the data had been manipulated relative to changing the dates of the current study. When the authors were asked to address the fact that the material submitted to The Journal of Urology had been previously published, despite their signatures on the form indicating that this material was original and not previously published elsewhere, and the discrepancy with regard to the dates of the study, their response did not reconcile the omission and inconsistencies that were raised, therefore questioning the validity of the current study. Therefore, the editors of The Journal of Urology wish to retract this article.
