Abstract: The invention relates to a pack comprising a storage compartment (1) and a dispensing compartment (2), the dispensing compartment (2) comprising a metering space (6) and an outlet space (13), in which there is an outlet opening (4), there being between the storage compartment (1) and the dispensing compartment (2) a dividing wall (3) that, in an area (12) of the dividing wall (3) that—compared with other areas of the dividing wall (3)—is at the greatest distance from the pack base (7), is penetrated by a connecting piece (5), which projects into the dispensing compartment (2) and ends flush on the side of the storage compartment (1) and through which the contents can pass from the storage compartment (1) into the dispensing compartment (2), that end of the connecting piece (5) which faces the dispensing compartment (2) sloping in the direction of the metering space (6).

Abstract: In a method of guiding an endoscope for performing minimally invasive surgery, wherein a surgical instrument is automatically tracked by an electrically driven and controlled guide system (EGS), three base steps are principally followed: the computer controlled processing of fault tolerances, the intuitive use of the equipment by the surgeon and the sovereignty of the operating surgeon. In this way, a high degree of reliability during operation is achieved and the surgeon is relieved from the tasks of performing the tracking procedures which requires a high level of concentration and from carrying out tasks of relatively low priority.
