Abstract
A multifunctional endoscopic scissors instrument for use in performing endoscopic procedures within an anatomical cavity includes a handle and an elongate tubular member having a proximal end coupled with the handle for being disposed externally of the anatomical cavity and a distal end for being disposed within the anatomical cavity and carrying a pair of opposed, relatively movable blades. The blades are operable by manipulation of the handle to cut tissue and other objects such as, for example, lengths of suture material. In addition, the elongate tubular member defines a channel permitting fluids and other instruments to be communicated at the operative site without the need of having to remove the endoscopic scissors instrument from the body.
