    Augmented reality (AR) visualization integrates digital information into the surgical field, enhancing situational awareness during neurosurgery.

  • 2

    Current AR applications in neurosurgery include head-up displays and navigated microscopes, improving visualization of brain lesions and surgical planning.

  • 3

    Despite potential benefits, challenges such as registration accuracy and visualization quality limit broader clinical application of AR in surgery.

  • 4

    The study employs a mixed methods design to evaluate AR's qualitative and quantitative impact on surgical workflows and decision-making.

  • 5

    Findings indicate that while AR may reduce cognitive load and improve visual representation, its overall effect on patient outcomes remains unclear.
