In the quiet of an operating room, a life trembles on the edge. A heart fighting, a family waiting, a moment that holds everything. Surrender is not an option. A surgeon steps forward, not just with skill, but with courage, compassion, and unwavering resolve.

As the year draws to a close, this reflection looks back on a journey defined by skill, sacrifice, and lifesaving decisions. It honours operating room professionals whose precision transforms uncertainty into survival, while framing the operating room as a sacred space of hope and responsibility. It invites gratitude for the unseen moments that define excellence. The long hours, the silent victories, the unwavering commitment, and the resilience that sustains care even in the most demanding circumstances. This is a celebration of service, teamwork, and impact, and a recognition that every life touched this year stands as proof that precision, compassion, and dedication remain at the heart of surgery.

Weโ€™ve successfully carried out our first-ever endoscopic spinal surgery, a groundbreaking step forward in patient care.

This state-of-the-art, minimally invasive technique uses a tiny camera through incisions as small as 7-10mm, meaning:
โœ… Less pain
โœ… Lower blood loss
โœ… Faster recovery

Weโ€™re proud to bring this advanced procedure to our patients.

Where learning from mistakes is encouraged, patients are safer.

Clinical incident reporting is not about blame. It is about visibility, accountability, and building systems that learn before harm is repeated. Yet in many healthcare settings, reporting practices remain underutilized or inconsistently applied.

We are pleased to share a newly published research article in The Operating Room Global Journal (TORGJ):
โ€œClinical Incidents Reporting Practice and Associated Factors Among Health Professionals in Debre Birhan Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, North Shoa, Amhara, Ethiopia.โ€

This study sheds light on how health professionals engage with incident reporting, the barriers they face, and the institutional factors that influence a culture of safety within hospital care.

We congratulate the authors for contributing evidence that supports safer clinical environments and stronger health systems.

What happens when life-saving ophthalmic treatments become a growing clinical and economic burden within public health systems?

Across public ophthalmology services, intravitreal injections play a critical role in preserving vision, yet their increasing utilisation raises important questions about workload, patient burden, and long-term sustainability.

We are pleased to announce the publication of a new retrospective audit in The Operating Room Global Journal (TORGJ):
โ€œPatterns of Intravitreal Injection Utilisation, Treatment Burden, and Cost Implications in a Public Ophthalmology Service.โ€

This article examines utilisation trends, treatment frequency, and associated cost implications, offering evidence to inform service planning, resource allocation, and patient-centred ophthalmic care.

We congratulate the authors on this valuable contribution to ophthalmology services research and health systems planning.

What happens when a life-threatening oesophageal foreign body presents in a setting with limited equipment and specialist support?

In many low-resource emergency departments, clinicians must rely on ingenuity, adaptability, and safe improvisation to deliver timely care.

We are pleased to announce the publication of a new case series in The Operating Room Global Journal (TORGJ):
โ€œEmergency Room Foley Catheter Retrieval of an Oesophageal Foreign Body in a Low-Resource Setting: A Case Series.โ€

This article highlights a practical, low-cost technique for managing oesophageal foreign bodies in emergency settings, demonstrating how simple tools can be used effectively when standard endoscopic resources are unavailable.

We congratulate the authors on this important contribution to emergency care, surgical decision-making, and global health practice.
