Abstract
A laser endoscope has a distal end portion detachably fitted with a holder which can cover the distal end of a channel extending through the laser endoscope body in a liquid-tight state and whose distal end holds a glass cover. The detachable attachment of the holder to the distal end portion of the laser endoscope enables a single channel to be concurrently used not only as a laser guide channel but also as a forceps channel.
