This document is a response to a comment on a study titled "Surgical experience and identification of errors in laparoscopic cholecystectomy." The authors thank the commenters for their input and acknowledge the complexity of surgical errors. They agree that errors in dissection can be either cognitive/procedural or technical/executional, with the former being more likely in junior surgeons. The authors discuss the subjectivity of interpreting surgical errors, the limitations of their study, and the need for further research to standardize evaluation methods and support artificial intelligence studies. The document includes a list of author contributions and references to related studies. [Extracted from the article]
