Studies addressing LA anatomy, morphometry, variants, and clinical applications were qualitatively assessed for methodological quality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The LA typically originates from the external carotid artery at the greater horn of the hyoid bone and courses deep to the hyoglossus muscle. Common arterial trunks represent the most prevalent variants: linguofacial trunk (16\u201325%), thyrolingual trunk (0.3\u20133.3%), and thyrolinguofacial trunk (~\u20091%). The hypoglossal nerve serves as a reliable surgical landmark, with the LA located inferior to or contacting the nerve in approximately 85% of cases. Dynamic topographic studies demonstrate that tongue extension and surgical retraction significantly alter vessel position, narrowing the midline safety corridor. CTA data suggest tongue extension reduces LA depth beneath the lingual surface by approximately 4\u00a0mm (27.9\u2009\u00b1\u20093.2\u00a0mm to 24.0\u2009\u00b1\u20092.7\u00a0mm at foramen cecum level) and decreases bilateral LA distance by approximately 6\u00a0mm (20.1\u2009\u00b1\u20093.1\u00a0mm to 13.9\u2009\u00b1\u20093.2\u00a0mm). Critical analysis revealed substantial inconsistencies in prevalence rates for cervical triangles, internal numerical discrepancies in foundational studies, absence of systematic bilateral assessment, and potential non-independence across sequential publications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Mastery of LA anatomy is indispensable for safe surgical practice. However, clinicians should interpret prevalence data cautiously given methodological limitations, small sample sizes, and potential sample overlap.
