The Plastic Surgeries Registry Network supported by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the Plastic Surgery Foundation offers a variety of options for procedural data and outcomes assessment and research. The Tracking Operations and Outcomes for Plastic Surgeons (TOPS) database is a registry created for and used by active members of ASPS to monitor all types of procedural outcomes. It functions as a way for individual or group practices to follow surgical outcomes and constitutes a huge research registry available to ASPS members to access for registry-based projects. The TOPS registry was launched in 2002 and has undergone several iterations and improvements over the years and now includes more than 1 million procedure records. Although ASPS member surgeons have proven valuable assets in contributing their data to the TOPS registry, fewer have leveraged the database for registry-based research. This article overviews the authors' experience using the TOPS registry for a database research project to demonstrate the process, usefulness, and accessibility of TOPS data for ASPS member surgeons to conduct registry-based research. This article pairs with the report of the authors' TOPS registry investigation related to 30-day adverse events associated with incision location for augmentation mammaplasty.
美国整形外科学会 (ASPS) 和整形外科学基金会支持的整形外科技能注册网络提供了多种程序数据和结果评估以及研究选项。跟踪整形医生的操作和结果 (TOPS) 数据库是一个专为 ASPS 活跃成员创建并供其使用的注册中心，用于监测所有类型的程序结果。它是个人或团体实践跟踪手术结果的一种方式，也是 ASPS 成员可以访问的庞大研究注册中心，用于基于注册中心的项目。TOPS 注册表于 2002 年推出，多年来经历了多次迭代和改进，现在包含了超过 100 万条手术记录。尽管 ASPS 成员外科医生在向 TOPS 注册表提供数据方面证明了他们是有价值的资产，但很少有人利用该数据库进行基于注册表的研究。本文概述了作者使用 TOPS 注册表进行数据库研究项目的经验，以展示 ASPS 成员外科医生使用 TOPS 数据进行基于注册表的研究的过程、实用性和可访问性。本文与作者关于与隆乳术切口位置相关的 30 天不良事件的 TOPS 注册表调查的报告配对。
