A surgical apparatus includes a seal anchor member. The seal anchor member includes a first end, a second end, at least one longitudinal port extending between the two ends, and a seal assembly disposed within the at least one longitudinal port. The seal assembly can be positioned at any location along the length of the at least one longitudinal port. The seal assembly comprises a seal housing which is dimensioned to receive a surgical instrument inserted into the at least one longitudinal port and form a substantially fluid-tight seal therewith. The seal housing may comprise a pivotable member to pivot the surgical instrument inserted therein. The at least one longitudinal port may define two gradually enlarging openings to facilitate the maneuverability of the surgical instrument inserted therein. The at least one longitudinal port may comprise a protective sleeve to protect it from accidental penetration by the surgical instrument. |
