Presented are a method and apparatus for surgical procedures. An exemplary surgical apparatus includes an elongated body comprising a longitudinal axis, a distal end, and a proximal end, the elongated body comprising a fluid conduit extending through the longitudinal axis, and a fluid inlet disposed adjacent to the distal end, wherein the fluid inlet is operable to allow a flow of fluid at a first flow rate. The surgical apparatus further includes a cutting element disposed adjacent to the distal end, and a fluid outlet disposed adjacent to the proximal end, wherein the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet are in fluid communication via the fluid conduit. The surgical apparatus still further includes at least one perforation defined by the elongated body adjacent to the distal end, wherein the at least one perforation is in fluid communication with the fluid conduit.
