• and
• an actuation mechanism located at said body and operable communicated with said power-operated fluid-displacing mechanism such that said power-operated fluid-displacing mechanism is selectively operated in at least one of said first operating mode and said second operating mode.

A method of utilizing a lavage handle for facilitating at least one of an irrigation function and a suctioning function at a target zone, said method comprising the steps of:

• providing a portable body;
• providing and communicating a power-operated fluid-displacing mechanism with said body, said fluid-displacing mechanism having one of a first operating mode for inducing outward irrigation of fluid towards the target zone and a second operating mode for inducing inward suction of fluid from the target zone;
• providing and locating an actuation mechanism at said body;
• and
• operably communicating said actuation mechanism with said fluid-displacing mechanism such that said fluid-displacing mechanism is selectively operated in at least one of said first operating mode and said second operating mode.
