Abstract
In a surgical instrument for endoscopes, one end of an resecting section of a wire to be used for resecting a lesion is fixedly connected to a fluid injection needle, and the other end of the same is fixedly connected to a surgical instrument operation section. As a result, the retraction of the fluid injection needle and the resection of the lesion can be carried out by means of a single operation for sliding the treatment instrument operation section.
