Search strategy
A literature search was performed in Pubmed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane library from inception to April 2021. Searches were conducted using a combination of the following MeSH terms; “head and neck surgery”, “neck dissection”, “salivary gland neoplasms”, “tissue adhesives”, “surgical tape”, “sutures”, and “wound closure techniques”. Further papers were identified using the “related articles” and “cited in” features on Pubmed. Targeted searches were performed on google, google scholar, and research gate to identify other relevant research papers and systematic reviews. The references reviews were scanned for further studies. Studies were limited to full text articles in the English language, in human patients over the age of 18 years old.
