Abstract
An endoscopic resecting system views and resects a grouting agent or osseus tissue from the femoral canal during revision hip surgery. The endoscopic system includes a compartmentalized tube, a visualizing device, an illuminating device, a first resecting mechanism, an irrigating apparatus and an aspirating apparatus. The compartmentalized tube has a first compartment of a first set of dimensions and a second compartment of a second set of dimensions larger than the first set of dimensions. A portion of the visualizing device is disposed in the first compartment so it directly views the grouting agent. A portion of the resecting mechanism is disposed in the second compartment. A portion of the irrigating apparatus is disposed in the first compartment. A portion of the aspirating apparatus is disposed on the second compartment so that it removes debris created during the process of resection. The visualizing device, the illuminating device, the first resecting mechanism, the irrigating apparatus and the aspirating apparatus are all contained within the same structure in order to function in an integrated and coordinated manner.
