<p>A surgical instrument (100) adapted for use during transanal endoscopy is disclosed. The surgical instrument has a shaft (104) having a proximal end (120) and distal end (110). A working part (170), for example a scissors or gripper, is attached to the distal end of the shaft, and a handle portion (140) is attached to proximal end of the shaft. The handle portion is actuatable to actuate said working part via a force transmission member (106). The shaft further includes a linear insertion portion (130) having a longitudinal axis. The proximal end of the shaft is laterally displaced relative to the longitudinal axis of the insertion portion. This configuration increases the ability to manipulate and actuate the surgical instrument during a transanal endoscopic procedure or similar surgical procedure.</p> |
