A multi-functional endoscopic system, for use in electrosurgical applications, that includes an imaging endoscope that may be used in combination with various electrosurgical devices, all of which are sufficiently inexpensive to manufacture, such that the endoscope and electrosurgical devices are considered single use, disposable items. The multi-functional endoscopic system of the present invention is suitable for use with a variety of common electrosurgical devices that require electrical/electronic support in order to function. The electrical/electronic support for these electrosurgical devices (e.g., an electrosurgical generator and associated controls) is integrated with the operator console of the imaging endoscope of the multi-functional endoscopic system of the present invention, rather than provided as a separate device. In another embodiment of the invention, an imaging endoscope is provided that integrates or combines the functions of both an imaging endoscope and an electrosurgical device, which can be controlled by a single handheld controller.

L'invention concerne un système endoscopique multifonctionnel, pour une utilisation dans des applications électrochirurgicales, qui comprend un endoscope d'imagerie pouvant être utilisé en combinaison avec plusieurs dispositifs électrochirurgicaux, tous étant suffisamment économiques à fabriquer, notamment un endoscope, et des dispositifs électrochirurgicaux considérés comme étant des articles jetables, à usage unique. Le système endoscopique multifonctionnel de cette invention est approprié pour une utilisation avec divers dispositifs électrochirurgicaux communs qui nécessitent un support électrique/électronique pour de fonctionner. Le support électrique/électronique de ces dispositifs électrochirurgicaux (par exemple, un générateur chirurgical et des commandes associées) est intégré à la console d'exploitation de l'endoscope d'imagerie du système endoscopique multifonctionnel de cette invention, plutôt que fourni en tant que dispositif séparé. Dans un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, un endoscope d'imagerie comprend ou combine les fonctions à la fois d'un endoscope d'imagerie et d'un dispositif électrochirurgical, pouvant être commandé par un dispositif de commande portatif unique.
