CONSORT-epidural dexmedetomidine improves gastrointestinal motility after laparoscopic colonic resection compared with morphine: Retraction

Abstract

The article “CONSORT-epidural dexmedetomidine improves gastrointestinal motility after laparoscopic colonic resection compared with morphine”, which was published in Volume 97, Issue 25 of Medicine is being retracted due to lack of proper ethical approval and trial registration. The paper shares the same ethical approval number and trial registration as an article previously published in Plos One. After investigation, it was determined that authors did not receive proper ethics approval and did not register the trial for the study published in Medicine.
