An apparatus ( 100 ) supports an endoscope ( 99 ) for viewing a surgical site in a patient during surgery on the patient. The apparatus ( 100 ) includes a base ( 110 ), a first part ( 200 ), a second part ( 300 ), and a mechanism ( 400 ). The base ( 110 ) has a guide portion ( 130 ). The first part ( 200 ) is adapted to be fixed to the endoscope ( 99 ). The second part ( 300 ) engages the guide portion ( 130 ) and is movable relative to the guide portion ( 130 ). The second part ( 300 ) is secured to the first part ( 200 ) such that the first part ( 200 ) is movable relative to the guide portion ( 130 ). The mechanism ( 400 ) is connected between the base ( 110 ) and the second part ( 300 ). At least a portion of the mechanism ( 400 ) is rotatable to slide the first and second parts ( 200, 300 ) relative to the guide portion ( 130 ) to change a position of the endoscope ( 99 ) relative to the patient.
