      I would like to express some concerns regarding this article. Examining the publisher's PDF version of the article, one finds this statement after the abstract: "Submitted Apr 19, 2014. Accepted for publication Apr 22, 2014." Based on this three-day period between submission and acceptance, it is fair to conclude, I think, that no bona fide peer review was carried out.

      Moreover, it appears that the article is being posted to online patient forums, perhaps by one of the authors, as a way of advertising and marketing the surgical technique described in the article.
