Reply to Every Piece of Knowledge has its Value

We thank the reviewer for the valuable and insightful comments on our study.

We fully agree that robotic segmentectomy is an evolving field, and even experienced surgeons can benefit from sharing and learning tips through easily accessible visual platforms such as YouTube. Thank you for highlighting this important point.

In our article, we aimed to emphasize that most of the video presentations prepared by senior surgeons tend to focus on surgical techniques and provide insights primarily for already experienced thoracic surgeons. However, these videos often lack sufficient content for surgeons who are still in training or at the beginning of their learning curve.

Important topics such as preoperative radiological assessment for proper indications, trocar placement, and the management of possible intraoperative complications are especially valuable for trainees. Therefore, we suggest that senior surgeons also include these aspects in their future video presentations to better support surgical education.
