An access port device for use in surgery is provided which comprises a sleeve having an exit opening located at a distal end thereof for insertion into an incision made in a patient's body, the exit opening allowing access to the patient's body cavity. The device also includes exit opening sealing means for insertion into the incision. There is an entry opening located at a proximal end of the sleeve and entry sealing means for sealing the device in the region of the entry opening, so that when the patient's body cavity is inflated by gas, the exit sealing means and the entry sealing means prevent substantial leakage of gas from the patient's body cavity while the entry sealing means also provides access for a surgeon's hand or surgical instrument and sealing about the arm remaining outside the access port device. The invention also relates to surgical instruments for use with such an access port and to a surgical drape for use in surgery using the access port and instruments of the invention.
