An endoscopic apparatus shaped and dimensioned for passage through an
orifice in the body includes a scope attachment member coupled to an
endoscopic instrument, and a connection member attaching the scope
attachment member to the endoscopic instrument. The connection member has
an insertion orientation sized for passage through the orifice and a
deployed orientation too large to pass though the orifice. When the
connection member is in its insertion orientation the endoscopic
instrument is positioned closely adjacent an exterior of an endoscope for
low profile insertion of the endoscopic instrument through an orifice,
and when the connection is in its deployed orientation the endoscopic
instrument is spaced from the endoscope to improve visibility.
