Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02078767A2] An apparatus (10) supports an endoscope for viewing a surgical site in a patient during surgery on the patient. The apparatus (10) includes a base (118), a part (140) adapted to be fixed to the endoscope, and a screw mechanism (160). The base (118) has a guide portion (128). The part (140) engages the guide portion (128) and is movable relative to the guide portion (128). The screw mechanism (160) connects between the base (118) and the part (140). At least a portion (610) of the screw mechanism (160) is threated into the base (118) and is rotatable to slide the part (140) relative to the guide portion (128) to change a position of the endoscope relative to the patient. In another feature of the apparatus (10), the apparatus (10) may include a cannula clamp (180) secured to a cannula (11) and rotatable relative to the part (140).
