Device for transanal resectate extraction

In a device for transanal resectate extraction which includes a rectoscope sleeve with a proximal tubular end portion, a connecting piece sealingly mounted onto said tubular proximate end portion for closing the rectoscope sleeve and including a bore axially extending therethrough and a resectate extractor having a tubular portion extending through the bore so as to be axially movable but position-lockable therein. The tubular portion of the extractor has a protector portion at its distal end with an axial passage in alignment with the tubular extractor portion for receiving grasping pincers inserted through the tubular extractor portion. The protector portion has an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the rectoscope sleeve so that it can be retracted into the sleeve.
