Registry of the Spanish Society of Thoracic Surgery (ReSECT)

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are conducting the ReSECT project, a nationwide, prospective observational registry promoted by the Spanish Society of Thoracic Surgery. The project aims to create a dynamic and inclusive database of thoracic surgical procedures performed in Spain. It seeks to develop advanced forecasting tools to support decision-making, assess the use of emerging surgical techniques and technologies, monitor guideline adherence, and compare outcomes among thoracic surgery departments. Participation includes two levels: an individual personal surgical registry and a collective departmental registry focusing on specific surgical processes. The initial surgical process within ReSECT centers on anatomical lung resections, especially for lung cancer cases. Data collection includes both retrospective and prospective records depending on the user's ability to include past surgeries, while future surgical processes will consider only patients operated on after approval. Participants will undergo thoracic surgical procedures documented in the registry. Researchers will collect detailed information on perioperative mortality and morbidity up to 90 and 30 days post-surgery, respectively, as well as long-term outcomes like overall survival, disease-specific survival, and recurrence-free survival over five years. Secondary measures include hospital readmissions, complications, ICU admissions, surgical reinterventions, functional status, mediastinal staging, resection completeness, lymphadenectomy types, occult disease rates, and length of hospital stay.
