A system for passing an end portion of a needle system from a body cavity to an outer environment through a laparoscopic port is provided. The system comprises an elongated sleeve which comprises a second proximal opening, a second distal opening, a second lumen extending between the second proximal opening and the second distal opening, and a seal provided in the second lumen. The system further comprises a seal bridge which comprises an elongated body. The elongated sleeve is telescopically introducible at a first proximal end, through a first lumen and bypassing a seal mechanism of the laparoscopic port. The seal bridge is adapted to be inserted through the second proximal opening to be deployed in the second lumen and thereby bridging across and/or deactivating the seal of the elongated sleeve.
