Zusammenfassung:An expandable access port includes a port body transitionable between expanded and collapsed configurations. The expandable access port also includes a plug with a first portion secured to the port body and a second portion flexibly coupled to the first portion by an arm. The first portion has an orifice and the second portion has a post insertable into the orifice. A tube is attached to an inflation port on the first portion of the plug. The tube is attachable to a source of inflation fluid and in fluid communication with a chamber of the port body. A lumen extends through the port body and is configured to slidably receive the post or a surgical instrument therethrough. The lumen forms a fluid-tight boundary when the port body is in the expanded configuration.
