A modular endoscope valve assembly is releasably mounted on the handpiece of an endoscope. This valve assembly includes an inlet port, an outlet port, and a valve manually operable selectively to block and to allow the flow of irrigation fluid from the inlet port to the outlet port. The valve assembly is releasably held to the handpiece of the endoscope by a mechanical fastener such as a pressure-sensitive adhesive, a strap, a snap lock, or otherwise. Once the valve assembly is releasably mounted to the handpiece, the physician using the endoscope can manually control the flow of irrigation fluid with the same hand as the one that supports the handpiece, thereby leaving the other hand of the physician free for surgical procedures. The modular valve assembly of this invention can be used with the widest variety of endoscopes, including flexible, rigid and semi rigid ureteroscopes as well as various percutaneous endoscopes.
