Abstract
A urological resectoscope includes a main casing and an optic guide plate mounted proximally to and a fixed distance from the main casing. A slider is displaceably guided between the main casing and the optic guide plate. A drive rod is detachably affixed to the slider at a first distance from an optic tube longitudinally passing through the resectoscope and in a first angular position to the grip, said rod running from the slider, parallel to the optic tube, through the main casing and then in a second angular position relative to the optic tube and at a second, minute distance from it, and the optic tube together with matched, tightly enclosing stem tube of matched cross-section running as far as said stem tube's distal end zone, the drive rod supporting a surgical implement, characterized in that a free space corresponding at least to the excursion of the drive rod is provided in the main casing and is fitted in the region of the free space with a deviation site where it is pivoted out of the first angular position and first distance from said optic tube into the second angular position and the second distance.
