摘要

Medical endoscope with a shaft (1) and shaft housing (1,2) has a work channel (3) that runs through the housing, but is sealed off from it. An access channel (13) to the housing penetrates through the housing walls (1,2) and the wall (4) of the work channel (3). The access channel is arranged at some distance from the access for optical cables (8) and optical fiber bundles (6).
