In order to achieve the purpose of rotating a treatment part at the distal end of a long member about the longitudinal axis of the long member without actuating the treatment part, the treatment tool rotation mechanism (1) pertaining to the present invention is provided with: a long member (2); a rotation member (4) to which a treatment tool (3) is fixed, the rotation member (4) being supported so as to be able to rotate about the longitudinal axis of the long member (2); and a tension conversion member (5) for converting tension applied to a proximal end to rotation about the longitudinal axis of the distal end, the tension conversion member (5) being disposed along the long member (2), and the rotation member (4) being fixed to the distal end; a wire-shaped motive-power supplying member (6) for supplying motive power for operating the treatment tool (3) being connected to the treatment tool (3), and the rotation member (4) and the tension conversion member (5) having a through hole (5a) penetrating through the motive-power supplying member (6) in the longitudinal axis direction.Selon la présente invention, afin de mettre en rotation une partie traitement au niveau de l'extrémité distale d'un élément long autour de l'axe longitudinal de l'élément long sans actionner la partie traitement, le mécanisme de rotation d'outil de traitement (1) comprend : un élément long (2) ; un élément de rotation (4) auquel est fixé un outil de traitement (3), l'élément de rotation (4) étant soutenu de façon à être apte à tourner autour de l'axe longitudinal de l'élément long (2) ; et un élément de conversion de tension (5) pour convertir une tension appliquée à une extrémité proximale en rotation autour de l'axe longitudinal de l'extrémité distale, l'élément de conversion de tension (5) étant placé le long de l'élément long (2), et l'élément de rotation (4) étant fixé à l'extrémité distale ; un élément d'alimentation en puissance motrice en forme de fil (6) pour alimenter en puissance
