Abstract:
1. A surgical device, comprising: a shaft having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending therethrough, the distal end being configured to be positioned within a body cavity; an end effector having a longitudinal body with a distal end, a proximal end, and a lumen extending therein, the proximal end of the end effector being configured to removably and replaceably mate with the distal end of the shaft, and the lumen of the end effector being configured to provide suction and irrigation, the lumen of the shaft being configured to be in fluid communication with the lumen of the end effector when the end effector is mated with the distal end of the shaft such that suction and irrigation can be provided through the lumen of the shaft and the lumen of the end effector; and a cleaning base formed on the longitudinal body and having at least one suction and irrigation port formed therein, a distal end of the cleaning base being proximal to the distal end of the end effector.
