During the last two decades surgery has considerably changed not only under the pressure of technological advances but also for the wide dissemination of a clinical practice based on the data driven approach. In fact, surgeons became increasingly used to analyze and to review their own result in order to optimize the subsequent clinical management with the aim of offering a better quality of care to their patients. Obviously, this virtuous process must be founded on reliable and comprehensive collections of clinical data. The detailed storage of information about patients, treatments and results is even more important for those categories of disease that are less common and where the standardization of practice is poor. Tracheal diseases submitted to surgical treatment are indeed rare and the description of different aspect of clinical practice is fragmented within the scientific literature. For this reason, the needs exist of a standardized and shared data repository with a multi-institutional and international connotation that could represent a benchmark for collecting data about tracheal diseases surgery and at the same time a valuable instrument for improving the quality of care in this field.
在过去二十年中，外科手术不仅在技术进步的压力下发生了很大变化，而且由于基于数据驱动方法的临床实践的广泛传播而发生了很大变化。事实上，外科医生越来越习惯于分析和回顾自己的手术结果，以便优化后续的临床管理，旨在为患者提供更高质量的护理。显然，这个良性过程必须建立在可靠且全面的临床数据收集基础上。对于那些不太常见且实践标准化程度较差的疾病类别而言，详细存储有关患者、治疗和结果的信息更为重要。接受手术治疗的气管疾病确实罕见，并且临床实践不同方面的描述在科学文献中是零散的。因此，需要一个具有多机构和国际内涵的标准化且共享的数据存储库，它可以成为收集气管疾病手术数据的基准，同时也是提高该领域护理质量的宝贵工具。
