A laparoscopic surgical device has a shaft with an operative tip and a manually operable actuator provided at the proximal end of the shaft for actuating the operative tip. The orientation of the actuator with respect to the shaft of the instrument is adjustable prior to the performance of an operation with the operative tip. The modification of the actuator orientation can be effectuated prior to or upon an insertion, into a patient during a laparoscopic operation, of a distal end portion of the device including the operative tip of the shaft.
