This systematic review aimed to compare the intraoperative and postoperative parameters between conventional and LigaSure Small Jaw (LSJ)-assisted neck dissection. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p> PubMed (MEDLINE), Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched. independently by two authors for relevant articles comparing the outcomes of conventional and LSJ-assisted neck dissection. Data from each study were extracted, and a random-effects model was used in the pooled analysis. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> Compared with conventional techniques, LSJ-assisted neck dissection was associated with a significantly reduced operative time. The rates of postoperative hematoma, infection, amount of intraoperative blood loss, the length of hospital stay and the drainage amount showed no significant intergroup differences. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p> The meta-analysis provides evidence that properly using LSJ may reduce the operative time compared with that of conventional techniques.
