The s sleeve (110) is adapted for insertion within tissue to access an underlying tissue site. The sleeve (110) defines a first passage (114) therethrough. The first passage (114) has a first diameter. The port (120) defines one or more second passages (122) extending therethrough. The port (120) is adapted for insertion within the first passage (114) of the sleeve (110) in a substantially sealed relationship therewith. The one or more second 1o passages (122) are adapted for a substantially sealed reception of a surgical object therethrough. The one or more second passages (122) have one or more second diameters. The port (120) is selectively removably positionable within the first passage (114) of the sleeve (110). The first diameter is greater than the one or more second diameters.1/3 s 13 1 30b 130a 10 0 1 24a 124b ~1 112a 1 110 - 112b FIG. 1
