Presentation

Everyday practice,
turned into evidence

The Registry of the Spanish Society of Thoracic Surgery (ReSECT) is a project promoted by the Board of Directors of the Spanish Society of Thoracic Surgery, constituted in January 2022. It involves the creation of a permanent and dynamic registry of the surgical activity of thoracic surgery in Spain.

ReSECT is a clinical registry based on surgical procedures, aimed at members of the Spanish Society of Thoracic Surgery (SECT), specialists and residents of thoracic surgery with professional practice in Spain.

In its protocol version 1.1 (10/08/2022), the project has the favourable opinion of the Clinical Research Ethics Committee of Aragon (CEICA). It was registered on the Clinical Trials.gov platform in October 2022 (NCT05600569), with prospective patient recruitment beginning on 1 January 2023.
