1. Table Legend

In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in the legend for Table 1. “therange” should be changed to “the range”, and the sentence “Median is expressed as a median” should be changed to “Follow-up is expressed as a median”. The correct legend appears below.

Table 1. Demographic and postoperative outcomes of the patients included in the study. Age and ligations per procedure are expressed as a mean with the range between parentheses. Follow-up is expressed as a median.

2. Error in Table

In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Table 1 as published. “Man” should be changed to “Men”, “56 (57.1%)” should be changed to “56 (57.7%)”, 42 (42.9%) should be changed to “41 (42.3 %)”, “20 (20.4%)” should be changed to “20 (20.6%)”, and “78 (79.6%)” should be changed to “77 (79.4%)”. The corrected Table 1 appears below.

The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
