Abstract: Various aspects of methods, systems, and use cases may be used to deploy a light source to a targeted organ location via a working channel of an endoscope, such as in a manner that leaves the working channel free for use by another instrument and that can avoid requiring an additional channel, beyond the working channel, for illumination of a target region.

Abstract: An endoscope body of an endoscope can include a handle, a shaft extending distally from the handle, and a distal portion at a distal end of the shaft. The handle can include a light guide that can receive illumination from a light source that is separate from the endoscope body. The light guide can include an illumination splitter that can split the received illumination into a target illumination and a handle illumination. The light guide can propagate the target illumination to the distal portion to illuminate a target. The distal portion can optionally include a camera that can capture an image of the illuminated target. The illumination splitter can propagate the handle illumination to illuminate at least a portion of the handle, such as an instrument port that can provide access to a proximal end of an instrument sheath that extends to the distal portion.
