ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for performing endoscopic surgical procedures within an internal body cavity. The apparatus includes an imaging unit for viewing the internal body cavity. In addition, the apparatus includes an intra-articular unit for providing a flow of fluid into the internal body cavity as well as for controllably withdrawing fluid from the internal body cavity. The apparatus further includes a cart which allows electrical intercommunication between the imaging unit and the intra-articular unit whereby the operation of the imaging unit and the intra-articular unit are interdependent.
