Claim 9:
10. A fluid management system, comprising:
a pump configured to pump a fluid from a fluid supply source through the fluid management system at a first fluid flow rate selected for a therapeutic purpose;
a processor configured to control the pump; and
a scope device coupled to the pump to deliver the fluid to a target surgical site, the scope device including an elongated shaft extending from a distal end thereof, the elongated shaft including a camera, the camera transmitting video feedback relating to the target surgical site to the processor,
wherein the processor includes image recognition software to detect variations in brightness or color pixilation in the video feedback and automatically signals to the pump to adjust from pumping the fluid at the first fluid flow rate to pumping the fluid at a second fluid flow rate for a predetermined time period based on the variations in the brightness or the color pixilation to improve images from the camera, wherein at an end of the predetermined time period, the pump is configured to revert to pumping the fluid at the first fluid flow rate.
