Urological resectoscope for children

A children's urological resectoscope comprising a main casing (6) to which may be affixed a distally running stem tube (9, 9′) and an optical guide plate (4) proximally mounted at a fixed distance from the main casing, a slider (10) being displaceably guided between said main casing and optic guide plate, a drive rod (14, 14′) being mounted a first distance from an optic tube (1) longitudinally running through the resectoscope on the slider and being affixable in detachable manner to the grip, said drive rod running from the slider parallel to the optic tube through the main casing and then at a second angular position and at a second minute distance from and parallel to the optic tube through the stem tube which, by means of its matched cross-section, tightly encloses the cross-sections of the drive rod and of the optic tube, said drive rod then continuing as far as the distal end zone of said stem tube and supporting a surgical implement (13, 21), characterized in that

• a free space (7) is provided in the main casing (6) and has a length corresponding at least to the excursion of the drive rod (14, 14′), the drive rod comprising a deviation site (22, 16, 22′, 22″) in the region of the free space where said rod pivots around the optic tube (1) from the first angular position and from the first distance from said tube into the second angular position and the second distance.
