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.
