ABSTRACT:
An endoscopic instrument includes a rigid outer sheath having an inner sheath received therein. The outer sheath has a lateral window defined therein near a closed distal end of the outer sheath. The inner sheath carries a telescope and a laterally transmitting laser fiber tip. The laser fiber tip may be extended to a position laterally adjacent the open window while the telescope remains located proximal relative to the tip and the window, so that the tip and the tissue to be treated may be observed with the telescope while both the telescope and the tip remain within the outer sheath.
