An assembly of mains electricity (AC-powered) electromechanical devices designed to be used to perform an endoscopic surgical procedure (e.g., laparoscopy) via hand-held rigid endoscopic instruments that have motor-driven articulating and mechanically-operated tips intended to facilitate surgical dexterity. It typically consists of a control unit that provides power via connecting cables to individual handpieces (handles) and several interchangeable endoscopic instruments with tip articulation (e.g., roll, yaw) for performing tissue manipulation, ligation, suturing, and cutting. The system is connected to a visual display unit (VDU) and is typically mounted on a trolley (cart) for mobility.
