ABSTRACT:
A laser laparoscope assembly and method therefor are provided. The assembly includes a laser, a laparoscope, and an adjustable coupler. The adjustable coupler is used for interconnecting the laser to the laparoscope, or tissue treating instrument. The adjustable coupler has adjustably offset screws for adjustment normal to a laser beam axis and has adjustable tilt screws for tilting a laparoscope passage in order to align a laparoscope passage axis with the laser beam axis whereby a beam contact point and a reflected beam within the laparoscope is avoided.
