Endoscopic probe with reduced obstruction

An endoscope probe comprising:

• a handle with a front end, a rear end with a rear end axis (AK) and, extending between the front end and the rear end, a straight grip portion with a grip portion axis (AG);
• a shaft extending from the front end of the handle and having a shaft axis (AS),
• wherein
• the shaft axis (AS), the rear end axis (AK) and the grip portion axis (AG) lie within a common plane,
• the shaft axis (AS) encloses an angle (α) in the range of 100 to 140 degrees with the grip portion axis (AG),
• the grip portion axis (AG) encloses an angle (β) in the range of 110 to 130 degrees with the rear end axis (AK),
• the shaft axis (AS) encloses an angle (γ) in the range of 30 to 90 degrees with the rear end axis (AK),
• the grip portion in a plane perpendicular to the common plane of the shaft axis (AS), the grip portion axis (AG), and the rear end axis (AK) has a cross section with a cross-sectional upper side that forms the side of the handle facing the point of intersection of an imaginary continuation of the shaft axis (AS) with an imaginary continuation of the rear end axis (AK) and a cross-sectional underside facing away from the cross-sectional upper side, and
• the cross-sectional upper side has a central portion and, adjoining the central portion, two straight portions which form cut-outs from limbs of an imaginary isosceles triangle whose apex lies centrally above the cross-sectional upper side.
