1. A visualization system for medical procedures comprising:
a camera comprising a body longitudinally extending between a proximal end and a distal end and having a fluid inflow path, wherein the proximal end of the camera body is configured to fluidly connect a fluid reservoir to the fluid inflow path;
a cannula comprising a lumen, wherein the lumen is configured to be fluidly connected to the fluid inflow path at the distal end of the camera body; and
a scope, wherein the scope is configured to be connected to the distal end of the camera body and a portion of the scope is configured to be inserted into the lumen of the cannula, wherein the scope and cannula are configured to be rotatably connected to the distal end of the camera body and the scope and cannula are configured to rotate independent of the camera body.
