Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application is related to and claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 786,490, filed March 15, 2013, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. This application also relates to and claims priority to US Nonprovisional Patent Application Serial No. 14 / 210,126, filed March 13, 2014, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0003] Endoscopy continued to evolve from the 19th century onwards due to its utility and versatility. Medical endoscopes may be used to perform medical procedures, which may include viewing and manipulating tissue within body cavities. For some types of procedures, relatively large endoscopic probes can be used in existing body passages, while small endoscopic probes ( figure 1 ) can be used to perform complex surgical procedures through small incisions. Due to the small incisions known as minimally invasive, patient recovery time and surgical c...
