Abstract
An access and positioning arrangement for use during an endoscopic surgical procedure in which a pair of surgical tools are utilized, such as an endoscopic imaging device for providing an image of the surgical site and a surgical instrument for manipulating tissue at the surgical site. The arrangement includes a housing for positioning over a surgical portal defined in the patient through which the surgical site is accessed, which housing defines first and second channels which receive the respective surgical tools so that the tools can be maintained in a fixed orientation relative to one another within the surgical site and so that the tools can be readily positioned in the correct positions relative to one another at the surgical site.
