After the publication of an Expression of Concern for this article on March 25, 2025 (https://doi.org/10.1111/codi.70068), corresponding author Anthony Dixon was removed from the UK Medical Register on 6 August 2025 at the request of the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS), as a result of the MPTS's investigation into allegations against Dr. Dixon. The notification has been agreed due to concerns raised regarding the legitimacy of the data reported and allegations of a lack of informed consent from patients who underwent the surgical procedure reported within. Therefore, the journal has decided to issue this notification to inform and alert the readers.
