A system, apparatus, and method for viewing a visually obscured portion of a body cavity. The system includes an endoscopic-type instrument (10), an imaging apparatus, and a human interface apparatus. The endoscopic-type instrument includes a face tip assembly (11) connected to a shaft assembly (12), the shaft assembly (12) being connected to a handle and viewing assembly (13). The face tip assembly (11) includes a plurality of input/output ports (21, 22, 23, 24) and a working channel extension (25) to protect an optical image collector. The shaft assembly includes an actively flexible shaft segment and a passively flexible shaft. The method for viewing a visually obscured portion of a cavity includes the steps of providing an instrument having an actively flexible shaft segment and manipulating the actively flexible shaft segment to a desired angular deflection.
Système, appareil et procédé permettant la visualisation d'une partie obscure de cavité corporelle. Ledit système comporte un instrument de type endoscope (10), un appareil d'imagerie et un appareil d'interface humaine. L'instrument de type endoscope comporte un ensemble extrémité avant (11) raccordé à un ensemble tige (12), l'ensemble tige (12) étant raccordé à une poignée et à un ensemble de visualisation (13). L'ensemble extrémité avant (11) comporte une pluralité d'orifices d'entrée / sortie (21, 22, 23, 24) et un prolongement (25) de canal de travail destiné à protéger un collecteur d'images optiques. L'ensemble tige comporte un segment de tige activement souple et une tige passivement souple. Ledit procédé de visualisation d'une partie obscure de cavité consiste, à l'aide d'un instrument pourvu d'un segment de tige activement souple, à manipuler ledit segment de tige activement souple pour lui conférer une déviation angulaire désirée.
