In a system and method for use in endoscopy and endosurgery, at least one link (80) is pivotally connected between first and second cannulas (30, 60) through which first and second endoscopic devices (10, 50) are inserted into a body part (20) through first and second points of entry (40, 70). Angular movement of the first device (10) about the first point of entry (40) induces angular movement of the second device (50) about the second point of entry (70). Coupling members (200, 210) are utilized to connect cannulas of existing design. Each coupling member comprises a structural member (230) provided with means for pivotal coupling (160) and a clasp mechanism rigidly attached to the structural member (220). Means (Fig. 12) are provided to control the degree of insertion of an endoscope. Endoscope cables are supported by a cable support system (705). |
