The Editor-in-Chief and Publisher of Research and Reports in Urology (formerly Open Access Journal of Urology) wish to issue an Expression of Concern for the published article.


Concerns have been raised regarding the alleged undisclosed competing interests of some of the authors, and the level of information provided on methodology, study data and process of institutional ethical approval for the published article. Research and Reports in Urology would like to alert readers of this while our investigation is still ongoing and we will provide an update following the conclusion of our investigation.
