“…A variety of techniques to destruct or inhibit viable microorganisms on any living tissues, the skin, the operating field, or the surgeon’s hands have been designed as prophylactic procedures to promote asepsis and eliminate the harmful results of contamination (bacterial, viral, fungal, and other) using sterilization and disinfection. Thorough antiseptic measures implementation is as crucial for overall high-standard patient care as a correct diagnosis or good surgical technique [ 1 , 2 ].…”

Infection control remains a significant burden for healthcare systems. The irrational use of antibiotics in the fight against microbial diseases has led to the fast development of antimicrobial resistance. Considering how the latter can adversely influence the effectiveness of modern treatments and the way medicine is practiced, we should revise the events that led to the establishment of the general principles of antisepsis and pay special tribute to the people who contributed to their formation, bearing in mind that they remain unmodified to a great extent until today. Without Semmelweis’ conceptualization of the idea of direct transmission of sepsis, Pasteur’s emblematic figure that helped promote the idea even further, and Lister’s methodology structuring, the scientific community would have significantly delayed winning the battle against germs.

“…Hemostasis involves mechanical, thermal, or chemical methods 3 : mechanical techniques, such as direct pressure, suturing, ligation, or bone wax, tamponade bleeding vessels thermal methods utilize heat via an electric current to seal off blood vessels (electrocoagulation) 4 chemical methods may involve a caustic or physiologic agent caustic agents (ie, silver nitrate) achieve clotting through protein denaturation.…”

“…Unfortunately, heat and caustic agents can cause damage to surrounding tissues and delay wound healing. 3 Surgical tissue adhesives are physiological agents with few perceived complications. These biocompatible and biodegradable products are derived from gelatin, cellulose, bovine collagen, thrombin, or fibrin.…”

Objective: This review will investigate the effectiveness of fibrin sealants in adult patients who underwent head and neck surgery. Introduction: Controlling bleeding is important in head and neck surgery. Complications involving nearby vital structures increase the risk of morbidity and mortality. Surgical tissue adhesives are used in addition to other traditional hemostatic methods to reduce surgical site bleeding. Fibrin sealants have shown some success compared with other tissue adhesives, but individual studies have been inconclusive. Inclusion criteria: We will include studies comparing fibrin sealants with placebo or usual care in patients 18 years or older who have undergone soft tissue surgery of the head and neck with drain placement. Primary outcomes include wound complications and time to surgical drain removal. Secondary outcomes include length of hospital stay, drain volume output, surgical management of postoperative hematoma, rate of blood transfusions, and adverse reactions. Methods: We will search electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Database of Controlled Trials) for studies published from 1975 onwards. Titles, abstracts, and full-text papers will be assessed against the inclusion criteria by 2 independent reviewers. Study screening and selection will be performed, and critical appraisal conducted using the standardized JBI appraisal tools. Data will be extracted by 2 independent reviewers. Meta-analysis will be conducted for all outcomes where appropriate, with weighted mean differences for continuous data. Risk ratios will be used for dichotomous data. Certainty will be reported using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. Review registration: PROSPERO CRD42023412820
