Abstract
An operating head for a full thickness resection system includes a first optical device disposed on a distal portion thereof and having a viewing area extending distally of the distal portion and a working chamber extending within an exterior wall of the operating head, a first portion of the exterior wall being moveable with respect to a second portion thereof to selectively open the working chamber to an exterior of the operating head. Furthermore, the operating head includes a second optical device mounted within the working chamber with a viewing area of the second optical device extending distally therefrom.

39. A full thickness resection system comprising:
-
a steerable endoscope extending from a proximal end which remains outside a patient'"'"'s body during use to a distal end;
an operating head coupled to the distal end of the endoscope and defining a working chamber therein, wherein a door of an exterior wall of the operating head is moveable to selectively open the working chamber to an exterior of the operating head;
first and second optical devices, the first optical device having a viewing area extending distally of the distal portion of the operating head and the second optical device having a viewing area extending distally from the working chamber of the operating head; and
a controller coupled to the proximal end of the endoscope for controlling operation of the endoscope and the operating head. - View Dependent Claims (40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50)

52. An insertion tube, comprising:
-
a tubular structure that includes;
a central endoscope receiving lumen, a plurality of working channels, and a suction/insufflation lumen, wherein an inner diameter of the central endoscope lumen is large enough to receive an endoscope provided without at least one of an endoscope working channel and an endoscope suction/insufflation lumen, and wherein the inner diameter is less than a diameter of an endoscope that includes at least one of the endoscope working channel and the endoscope suction/insufflation lumen.
