| ABSTRACT |
| Background: The Operating Room Global (TORG) Annual Report 2025 documents a year of significant organisational growth, global expansion, and strategic consolidation in education, research, governance, and scholarly publishing. As surgical systems worldwide face workforce shortages, ethical challenges, and inequities in access, structured global collaboration platforms remain critical. Objective: To present a comprehensive overview of TORG’s 2025 activities, achievements, and measurable impact across training, research, governance, partnerships, and knowledge dissemination. Methods: This institutional annual report summarises organisational data collected between 1 January and 25 December 2025, including community growth metrics, digital analytics, training participation records, research portfolio development, ethical governance milestones, publication outputs, and strategic partnerships. Quantitative indicators were extracted from verified internal databases and engagement analytics. Results: In 2025, TORG’s global community expanded from 213,910 to 260,263 members across 111 member countries. A total of 5,566 training participations were recorded across 30 structured educational events, including global webinars, regional webinars, congresses, collaborative forums, in-person workshops, and an international hybrid scientific conference. Digital engagement exceeded 82 million annual views with nearly 900,000 content interactions. Research expansion included activation of the TORG Global Research Team, initiation of multiple multinational studies, and regulatory milestones achieved by the TORG Institutional Review Board, including U.S. OHRP registration (IORG0012466; IRB00014742) and Federalwide Assurance (FWA00035510). The Operating Room Global Journal (TORGJ) successfully published two peer-reviewed issues in 2025, strengthening academic dissemination. Legal incorporation of The Operating Room Global Centre for Education, Research & Innovation in Ireland further enhanced institutional governance and sustainability. Conclusion: The year 2025 marked a transformative phase for TORG, characterised by measurable global reach, structured capacity building, strengthened research governance, and academic consolidation. The organisation is strategically positioned to scale its impact in 2026 through expanded training delivery, research output, ethical oversight, and international partnerships aimed at advancing safe, sustainable, and patient-centred surgical and perioperative systems worldwide.
