The present invention is an improved electrocautery device having simplified irrigation controller, a controlled irrigation system and powered rotating auger. Both the rotating auger and the irrigation flow can be turned on and off by operating a controller on the hand-held portion of the device. The auger is part of a flexible rotating drive shaft within malleable suction coagulator conduction tubing. The controller on the handle operates the motor that powers the rotating drive shaft. The motor can also power an irrigation gate to control the flow of fluids through the device's irrigation channel. As an alternative, the irrigation flow can be controlled by mechanical depression of the controller on the handle. The motor can receive power from an AC or DC power source and can be located externally or within the housing of the suction coagulator.
