    The study evaluated the feasibility of augmented reality (AR) navigation for brain glioma resection in a pilot series of 6 patients.

  • 2

    Preoperative imaging data were processed and used to create 3D holographic models for surgical planning and intraoperative navigation.

  • 3

    Gross total resection of the contrast-enhancing tumor was achieved in all patients involved in the study.

  • 4

    The mean AR registration time was recorded at 4.7 ± 0.7 minutes, with a target registration error of 2.1 ± 0.4 mm.

  • 5

    Postoperative neurological function improved significantly at 3 months, as indicated by the Modified Rankin Scale scores.
