A minimally invasive surgery (MIS) cannula that is manufactured primarily from a plastic material such that it is disposable and that serves as both a camera bridge, to which a camera may be coupled, and an instrument or tool cannula or port, through which an instrument or tool may be used. The cannula optionally includes one or more ports to which an irrigating fluid line may be attached to enhance site visibility and access and a camera receptacle to which a camera can be affixed. When the camera is not used, a cap may be attached to the cannula using the camera receptacle and may include a valve or seal assembly or the like through which an instrument or tool may be used. The cap and valve or seal assembly or the like may also accommodate a camera and arthroscope attachment. Otherwise, the cap may simply seal the cannula.
