• a first elongate tubular member having a first end, a second end disposed opposite from the first end, an inner surface, an outer surface and a longitudinal axis, the first elongate tubular member having a plurality of openings disposed near the second end, the openings extending through the first elongate tubular member, the first elongate tubular member configured to be inserted through the body wall into the surgical site;
• a plurality of channels disposed inside the first elongate tubular member, at least one of the plurality of channels being disposed in fluid communication with at least one of the openings extending through the first elongate tubular member, the plurality of channels being oriented substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis, wherein the plurality of channels comprises a first and a second channel each having a “D” shaped cross section and a third channel having a circular cross section, wherein the first and second channels are mirror images of each other;
• and,
• wherein at least one of the plurality of channels is configured to convey smoke from the surgical site during the surgical procedure.
