ABSTRACT:
A prostascope with a bridge includes a guide member which has a guide surface for a laser beam emitting end of a fiber cable at the bottom thereof and which is attached to the tip of the bridge, a reflector which is formed with a slant reflecting surface having a predetermined angle of reflection and which is detachably attached to a mounting portion of the guide member such that the reflector is prevented from rotating relative to the guide member and that a threaded end of the tip of the bride penetrates the reflector, and a cap nut which is removably screwed onto the threaded end of the bridge. The laser beam emitting end of the fiber cable is guided along the guide surface of the guide member and faces the reflecting surface of the reflector, and the tip of a telescope is positioned at a location slightly retracted from the reflection surface of the reflector with the laser beam emitting end of the fiber cable located therebetween so as to visually recognize the entire affected part irradiated with a laser beam emitted from the laser beam emitting end of the fiber cable. This structure allows a surgeon to easily replace the reflector.
