By improving completion of the entire treatment course, enabling biological selection, and optimizing patient selection for surgical intervention, neoadjuvant therapy has driven a shift in resectability assessment from a purely anatomical judgment toward a comprehensive decision-making model that integrates tumor biology and treatment response. Nevertheless, surgical practice faces multiple challenges, including blurred boundaries of surgical indications, greater complexity in determining the optimal timing of surgery, evolving technical difficulty and perioperative risk, and the limitations of traditional evaluation frameworks. On this basis, the role of surgeons is evolving from executors of surgical techniques to central decision-makers within multidisciplinary teams, accompanied by increasing refinement of surgical strategies and ongoing innovation in surgical techniques and assessment concepts. Overall, the reshaping of surgical strategies for pancreatic cancer in the era of neoadjuvant therapy is not centered on the binary question of whether to operate, but rather on determining for whom, when, and how surgery should be performed, with the ultimate goal of achieving precise surgical decision-making oriented toward long-term survival benefit for patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":60685,"journal":{"name":"中华外科杂志","volume":"64 8","pages":"850-855"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148334902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cohort comprised 44 males and 36 females with an age of (55.8±10.7) years (range: 34 to 76 years). Fifty-nine cases involved a single segment, and 21 cases involved two segments; 27 cases had concomitant dural ossification. Intraoperatively, a diamond burr was used to perform full-thickness drilling of the ossified ligamentum flavum, and the \"floating technique\" was applied in cases with dural ossification. Operative time, length of hospital stays, and perioperative complications were recorded. Spinal canal area and sagittal diameter were measured preoperatively, at postoperative day 3, and at the final follow-up. The Oswestry disability index (ODI) and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score were assessed preoperatively, at postoperative day 3 and 3 months, and at the final follow-up.
