1. A scope comprising:
a tubular casing, a proximal end, a distal end, an internal volume, a longitudinal axis of extension extending from the distal end to the proximal end, a vertical axis extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of extension and one or more apertures along a length L of the longitudinal axis of extension;
a handle having a proximal end and a distal end; and
image capture devices each located within the internal volume of the tubular casing, wherein the image capture devices comprise a rearward camera with a field of view through the one or more apertures in the tubular casing in a direction between the longitudinal axis of extension and the vertical axis, a sideward camera with a field of view through the one or more apertures in the tubular casing in a direction of the vertical axis, and a forward camera with a field of view through the one or more apertures in the tubular casing in a direction of the longitudinal axis of extension from the proximal end to the distal end of the tubular casing.
