The ports include actuators positioned outside the body that allow active deflection of the distal ends of the ports, and thus the distal ends of the instruments passed through them. The deflectable ports may extend into the body through various types of access devices suitable for use in giving access to a body cavity, including, but not limited to laparoscopic ports, trocars, cannulas, seals, multi-instrument access devices, etc., or they may extend directly through an incision.WO 2011/014711 PCT/US2O1O/043799 1/31 coo Q0:Q coN
