ABSTRACT:
An endoscope having a tool guide member which is pivotable in the longitudinal direction of an insert part of the endoscope by remote control to change the direction of projection of a tool for an endoscopic procedure, which is projected outwardly from the distal end of the insert part. A pair of inner and outer walls are formed on the distal end of the insert part so as to be in contact with both side surfaces of the tool guide member. A control wire is driven to move back and forth by remote control to pivot the tool guide member. The distal end of the control wire is disposed at the outside of the outer wall. A driving force transmitting member is disposed to extend through a bore formed in the outer wall so as to transmit the motion of the control wire to the tool guide member.
