Impact of navigated‐control assistance on performance, workload and situation awareness of experienced surgeons performing a simulated mastoidectomy

Navigated control (NC) is an advanced image‐guided navigation system that provides an additional control function to enhance patient safety. It automatically stops the surgical instrument if it comes close to critical anatomical structures that need to be protected during surgery. The purpose of this study was to explore the human performance consequences of computer‐based navigated control assistance.
