Systems and methods whereby an electrosurgical device provides electrosurgical treatment to a tissue area while offering simultaneous irrigation and suction capabilities. A hybrid pump attachment including a plurality of flexible tubes is fluidly connectable to the electrosurgical device, wherein the plurality of flexible tubes is orientated within the hybrid pump attachment such that, when attached to the peristaltic pump, the plurality of tubes at least partially surrounds a rotor and a plurality of rollers of the peristaltic pump. The rotor is rotatable about a central axis such that the plurality of rollers conveys fluid through the plurality of flexible tubes by way of applying intermittent forces on the external surface of the plurality of flexible tubes, wherein at least a first tube conveys a first fluid to a first location and at least a second tube conveys a second fluid to a second location.
