1. A surgical method, comprising:
inserting an instrument having a camera at a distal end thereof into a patient;
rotating a first portion of the instrument relative to a second portion of the instrument about a rotation axis to adjust a position of the camera, wherein said rotation is limited to a range greater than 360 degrees by a rotation stop having a retention feature that maintains an axial position of a first component of the rotation stop relative to a second component of the rotation stop by extending through the first component in a direction that is substantially parallel to the rotation axis;
detecting a rotational position of the first portion relative to the second portion; and
adjusting an electronic display of images captured by the camera based on the detected rotational position.
