摘要

The video laparoscope (1) has an elongated rigid shaft (2) with a lens (6) and a rotatable camera (7) arranged at a distal end region (4), and an actuator (16) connected with the camera. A proximal end region of the shaft is fastened at an end body (14) by a connecting piece (13), where the connecting piece is formed opposite to the shaft at a relative displacement to the end body. The actuator is arranged in the end body and formed as a turning link, and an electrical servomotor (9) is attached to the camera.
