ABSTRACT:
A method for dissecting tissue includes the steps of providing a surgical device having a scope holder for holding an endoscope therein and a transparent concave head connected to the scope holder. The concave head defines a working space therein. The device also includes a particulate purging system operatively connected to and communicating with the concave head. An endoscope is positioned in the scope holder and the surgical device is placed in tissue. Tissue is dissected with the concave head of the device and particulate is purged from the working space of the concave head with a fluid flow provided through the purging system while the device remains in the tissue.
