The at least one lumen (150) is configured for passage of a surgical instrument therethrough. An outer sleeve (120) is disposed about the body portion (110) to define a chamber (122) therebetween. The chamber (122) is selectively inflatable from a deflated condition, for positioning the access assembly (100) within an opening in tissue, and an inflated condition, for retaining the access assembly (100) within the opening in tissue in sealing relation therewith.
