Abstract

An endoscopic electrosurgical suction-irrigation instrument (108) with insertable probes (500) and attachments is disclosed. The instrument has a fluid chamber (114) sealed at its proximal end with a slit valve (116) for receiving the probes and connected at its distal end to a cannula (112) through which the inserted probes extend. The fluid chamber is selectively provided with suction and/or irrigation and includes an electrical contact (132) for supplying voltage to an inserted electrosurgical probe (110). Depending on the probe configuration suction and/or irrigation is provided in an annular space between the probe and the cannula or through the probe. Valves, connectors and switches for use with the instrument are also disclosed.
