Abstract:
A surgical instrument includes a shaft section connected to a handle that has a rigid handle part and a movable handle part. The surgical instrument also has a release mechanism that can be actuated such that the shaft section and the handle are decoupled from each other. The release mechanism has a preferably rocker-like actuating element that can be swiveled such that the shaft section and the handle are released from each other.
