Abstract

A surgical access assembly is presented including an expandable sleeve having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end including a first pair of wings and a second pair of wings outwardly extending away from the sleeve, the second pair of wings detachably connected to a distal end of the first pair of wings. The surgical access assembly also includes a cannula assembly having a cannula housing and a tubular member configured to be inserted through the expandable sleeve.
