Welcome to the TORG Research Hub
The Operating Room Global Centre for Education, Research & Innovation Research Hub is a dedicated platform showcasing all ongoing, completed, collaborative, and past research activities coordinated or supported by The Operating Room Global (TORG). This hub reflects our commitment to advancing perioperative care, surgical safety, education, innovation, workforce development, and global surgical research through evidence-based collaboration.
Our research initiatives involve multidisciplinary professionals, institutions, researchers, educators, and healthcare partners across different countries and regions.
TORG iPREP-OR Study: Robotic Surgery Preparedness
This study seeks to generate evidence that may guide future robotic surgery education, perioperative workforce development, simulation initiatives, digital surgical innovation, and policy planning in emerging surgical systems globally.
๐๐๐๐ SEG-OR Study: Waste Segregation
Operating rooms are a major contributor to healthcare waste, with a significant proportion incorrectly classified as biohazard waste. The SEG-OR Study aims to generate the first large-scale multicentre evidence on waste segregation practices across low- and middle-income settings.

TORG-GRT Project D-25
The TORG Global Research Team is conducting a landmark international audit to assess the real-world implementation of the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist in low-resourced settings. This high-impact study will generate multi-site data that can influence policies, improve surgical outcomes, and drive systemic change in global surgical safety.
Vision for Research Excellence
TORG remains committed to promoting research, innovation, education, and collaboration that strengthen perioperative practice and improve surgical care globally.
Together, we can generate evidence that transforms operating room practice and advances global surgical outcomes.
