Methods and devices for treating pelvic conditions

An elongate instrument comprising:

• a handle assembly at a proximal end, the handle assembly comprising a body;
• a suction head at a distal end;
• a elongate shaft extending between the handle assembly and the suction head, wherein the elongate shaft comprises a cannula channel, a suction channel, and a scope channel;
• an elongate electrode slidably disposed in the cannula channel and being slidable between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position, a distal end of the electrode is contained within the cannula channel, and wherein in the second position, the distal end of the electrode extends out an open distal end of the cannula, proximate the suction head;
• and
• a sliding mechanism, the sliding mechanism comprising a sliding tube that is slidingly received by the handle assembly body such that the sliding tube defines a proximal end of the scope channel,
• wherein the sliding mechanism is configured to receive a scope, and control a longitudinal placement of the scope relative to the elongate instrument.
