ABSTRACT:
An endoscopic surgical instrument is manually manipulatable by a surgical operator. In one embodiment, the instrument provides an alignment between a hand-held grip and a housing whereby an acute angle is formed at the point of intersection of the axis of the housing and the axis of the grip. In another embodiment, the instrument provides a hand-held grip which includes a pivot portion through which the thumb of the operator is received and which may be pivoted laterally in relation to the housing. In another embodiment, the instrument provides up to complete axial rotation of the housing relative to an instrument body housed therein to permit ease of orientation of the housing and/or body during surgery.
