ABSTRACT:
A portal sleeve in combination with a stabilizer for stabilizing the portal sleeve includes a portal sleeve having a distal end for being disposed in an anatomical cavity and a proximal end for being disposed externally of the anatomical cavity and a stabilizer including a body disposed on the portal sleeve and being movable longitudinally along the portal sleeve for insertion in an opening in a wall forming the anatomical cavity. An expandable portion is carried by the body to be movable with the body along the portal sleeve and into the opening. The expandable portion is movable from a contracted position wherein the expandable portion is disposed close to the portal sleeve to facilitate insertion in the opening and an expanded position wherein the expandable portion is disposed further away from the portal sleeve to engage the anatomical cavity wall to resist withdrawal of the stabilizer body and the portal sleeve from the anatomical cavity wall.
