That is, the treatment tool for an endoscope includes an operation mechanism, a long pipe provided in the operation mechanism, and a treatment section such as forceps provided at a tip of the long pipe. A rod extending in the axial direction is accommodated in the long pipe, and one end of the rod is operatively connected to the operation mechanism, and the other end is connected to the treatment section. When the operating mechanism is operated, the treatment section operates by the rod operating along the axial direction of the long pipe. A female screw portion is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the distal end of the long pipe. A male screw portion is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the proximal end of the treatment section. The male thread of the treatment section is screwed into the female thread of the long pipe, and the treatment section is detachable from the distal end of the long pipe. Then, in order to discard the treatment section after using the treatment tool for an endoscope, the treatment section was removed from the long pipe by turning the treatment section and retreating the male screw section from the female screw section. . Conversely, in order to attach a new treatment section to the long end, the treatment section is turned in the opposite direction to the removal of the treatment section, and the male screw section is screwed into the female screw section.
