The instrument cleaning apparatus of the present disclosure facilitates the cleaning of a scope inserted through a sealed portal during a surgical procedure by providing a cleaning solution within the operating cavity so that the surgical instrument doesn't have to be removed therefrom. In an embodiment, a surgical access device is provided with a housing, a sleeve extending distally from the housing, and a conduit disposed in mechanical cooperation with the sleeve. The sleeve defines a longitudinal axis and is dimensioned for passage through a tissue tract. The sleeve also defines a longitudinal bore for reception and passage of a surgical instrument. The conduit has a first portion configured to receive a fluid and a second portion configured to discharge the fluid. In another embodiment, an instrument cleaning apparatus includes a base portion and a fluid retention portion. The base portion includes a substantially tubular wall having a proximal end and a distal end and a longitudinal passageway extending therethrough. The fluid retention portion is in mechanical cooperation with the base portion and is adapted to retain a cleaning fluid therein.
