    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for an endoscope for use in a surgical procedure, e.g., a pediatric trans-nasal endoscopy procedure. The endoscope may include a handle for gripping by a user, and a shaft extending from the handle. The shaft may have a working channel extending longitudinally therethrough and a distal region configured to be inserted into a patient. A fluid control mechanism on the handle may be actuatable by a user to selectively control the flow of at least one of air, suction or water through the working channel. The working channel may include a bifurcation region that splits the working channel into a first channel through which a surgical instrument can be introduced into the working channel, and a second channel configured to selectively convey at least one of air, suction or water into the working channel. A tubing set may be connected to the handle, the tubing set including a second air tube that may be configured to convey air from an air source to a water source so as to pressurize the water source and thereby push water from the water source towards the working channel.
