1. An in-dwelling port for permitting access into a body cavity, the port comprising: an external portion configured for placement outside of an incision and defining a proximal port opening, the proximal port opening having a proximal port opening diameter, and wherein the external portion has a first surface positioned to face away from a body and a second surface arranged to contact an external portion of a body surrounding the incision; anda flexible bellows portion configured to be movable inside the body cavity between an elongated position and a collapsed position, the flexible bellows portion having a first end attached to the second surface of the external portion and defining an unobstructed distal port opening opposite the first end, the unobstructed distal port opening having a distal port opening diameter, wherein the distal port opening diameter is less than the proximal port opening diameter; andwherein an internal passage of the flexible bellows portion is configured for continuous fluid communication with the body cavity via the unobstructed distal port opening. 2. The port of claim 1, further comprising a removable plug sized to seal the proximal port opening. 3. The port of claim 2, further comprising a tether connected with the plug at a first end and connected with the external portion at a second end. 4. The port of claim 1, wherein the external portion and the flexible bellows portion each comprise an antimicrobial material. 5. The port of claim 1, wherein the external portion and the flexible bellows portion each comprise a coating of antimicrobial material. 6. The port of claim 1, further comprising a tear-away seam extending at least a portion of a length of the flexible bellows portion and at least a portion of a width of the external portion. 7. The port of claim 6, wherein the tear-away seam comprises a line of perforations in the port. 8. The port of claim 6, wherein the tear-away seam comprises a region of weakened material. 9. The port of claim 1, further comprising an adhesive positioned along the second surface of the external portion and configured to adhere to tissue surrounding an incision through which the flexible bellows portion may be inserted. 10. The port of claim 9, wherein the adhesive comprises a continuous ring of adhesive. 11. The port of claim 1, wherein the external portion further comprises a pierceable surface resealably positioned over the proximal port opening. 12. An in-dwelling port for permitting access into a body, the port comprising: an external portion configured for placement outside of an incision and defining a proximal port opening, the proximal port opening having a proximal port opening diameter, wherein the external portion further comprises a pierceable membrane resealably positioned over the proximal port opening; anda collapsible insertion portion defining a distal port opening, the distal port opening having a distal port opening diameter, wherein the distal port opening diameter is less than the proximal port opening diameter;wherein the collapsible insertion portion is attached to the external portion and positioned in a substantially coaxial relationship to the proximal port opening, the collapsible insertion portion repeatably adjustable between an elongated position and a collapsed position within the body, while the external portion is affixed to an exterior of the body; andwherein the collapsible insertion portion is free of any portion that is configured to continuously anchor the in-dwelling port inside the body. 13. The port of claim 12, further comprising a removable plug sized to seal the proximal port opening. 14. The port of claim 13, further comprising a tether connected with the plug at a first end and connected with the external portion at a second end. 15. The port of claim 12, wherein the external portion and the collapsible insertion portion each comprise an antimicrobial material. 16. The port of claim 12, wherein the external portion and the collapsible insertion portion each comprise a coating of antimicrobial material. 17. An in-dwelling port for permitting access into a body, the port comprising: an external portion configured for placement outside of an incision and defining a proximal port opening, the proximal port opening having a proximal port opening diameter;a collapsible insertion portion defining a distal port opening, the distal port opening having a distal port opening diameter, wherein the collapsible insertion portion is configured for placement inside the body and comprises a plurality of folds positioned along a length of the collapsible insertion portion, the collapsible insertion portion attached to the external portion and adjustable between an elongated position and a collapsed position;wherein while the external portion is affixed to the body and the collapsible insertion portion is inside the body, the collapsible insertion portion is repeatedly collapsible or extendible within the body via unfolding of the plurality of folds or via folding of the plurality of folds; andwherein the proximal port opening diameter is greater than the distal port opening diameter. 18. The port of claim 17, wherein the proximal port opening diameter and the distal port opening diameter are less than 0.25 inches. 19. The port of claim 18, wherein the proximal port opening diameter is 0.196 inches and the distal port opening diameter is 0.112 inches. 20. The port of claim 1, wherein the flexible bellows portion is extendible in response to insertion through the proximal port opening of a device having a diameter less than the proximal port opening diameter and greater than the distal port opening diameter. 21. The port of claim 12, wherein the collapsible insertion portion is extendible in response to insertion through the proximal port opening of a device having a diameter less than the proximal port opening diameter and greater than the distal port opening diameter. 22. The port of claim 17, wherein the collapsible insertion portion is extendible in response to insertion through the proximal port opening of a device having a diameter less than the proximal port opening diameter and greater than the distal port opening diameter. 23. The port of claim 1, further comprising at least one retraction tether having a first end attached to a distal portion of the flexible bellows portion and a second end positioned on a side of the external portion opposite the flexible bellows portion, wherein the at least one retraction tether is movable relative to the external portion to retract the flexible bellows portion toward the external portion. 24. The port of claim 23, wherein the at least one retraction tether is positioned outside of the flexible bellows portion. 25. The port of claim 12, further comprising at least one retraction tether having a first end attached to a distal portion of the collapsible insertion portion and a second end positioned on a side of the external portion opposite the collapsible insertion portion, wherein the at least one retraction tether is movable relative to the external portion to retract the collapsible insertion portion toward the external portion. 26. The port of claim 25, wherein the at least one retraction tether is positioned outside of the collapsible insertion. 27. The port of claim 17, further comprising at least one retraction tether having a first end attached to a distal portion of the collapsible insertion portion and a second end positioned on a side of the external portion opposite the collapsible insertion portion, wherein the at least one retraction tether is movable relative to the external portion to retract the collapsible insertion portion toward the external portion. 28.
