An in-dwelling port for providing repeated entry to a body during and/or after an operation is described. The port may include an external portion secured to a body outside an incision and a collapsible insertion portion that is inserted through the incision. The collapsible portion collapses when no instrument or lumen is present to permit the body to return to substantially a normal profile around the incision.

1. 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; andan insertion portion having a non-collapsible portion attached to the external portion and positioned in a substantially coaxial relationship to the proximal port opening, and a collapsible portion attached to the non-collapsible portion, the collapsible portion defining a distal port opening and repeatably adjustable between an elongated position and a collapsed position, wherein the collapsible insertion portion comprises a collapsed length that is shorter than an extended length; andwherein the distal port opening has a diameter less than any diameter of the non-collapsible portion. 2. The port of claim 1, further comprising a membrane having a reclosable slit sized to seal the proximal port opening. 3. The port of claim 1, wherein the insertion portion comprises an antimicrobial material. 4. The port of claim 1, wherein the insertion portion comprises a coating of antimicrobial material. 5. The port of claim 1, further comprising a tear-away seam extending at least a portion of a length of the collapsible insertion portion and at least a portion of a width of the external portion. 6. The port of claim 1, further comprising an adhesive positioned along an underside of the external portion and configured to adhere to tissue surrounding an incision through which the collapsible insertion portion may be inserted. 7. 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;an insertion portion having a non-collapsible portion attached to the external portion and positioned in a substantially coaxial relationship to the proximal port opening, and a collapsible portion attached to the non-collapsible portion, the collapsible portion defining a distal port opening and repeatably adjustable between an elongated position and a collapsed position, wherein the collapsible insertion portion comprises a collapsed length that is shorter than an extended length;wherein the external portion comprises a flange having an arm extending radially away from the proximal port opening, the arm defining a recessed region for receiving a suture; andwherein the flange further comprises a slot longitudinally extending a length of the arm, the slot having an open end at a distal end of the slot and a closed end at a proximal end of the slot adjacent the proximal port opening. 8. The port of claim 7, further comprising a membrane having a reclosable slit sized to seal the proximal port opening. 9. The port of claim 7, wherein the insertion portion comprises an antimicrobial material. 10. The port of claim 7, wherein the insertion portion comprises a coating of antimicrobial material. 11. 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;an insertion portion having a non-collapsible portion attached to the external portion and positioned in a substantially coaxial relationship to the proximal port opening, and a collapsible portion attached to the non-collapsible portion, the collapsible portion defining a distal port opening and repeatably adjustable between an elongated position and a collapsed position, wherein the collapsible insertion portion comprises a collapsed length that is shorter than an extended length;wherein the external portion comprises a flange having an arm extending radially away from the proximal port opening, the arm defining a recessed region for receiving a suture; andat least one tether having a distal end and a proximal end, wherein the distal end of the tether is connected to a distal section of the collapsible insertion portion and the proximal end is connected to a retaining member positioned on a side of the flange opposite the insertion portion. 12. The port of claim 11, further comprising a tear-away seam extending at least a portion of a length of the collapsible insertion portion and at least a portion of a width of the external portion. 13. The port of claim 11, further comprising an adhesive positioned along an underside of the external portion and configured to adhere to tissue surrounding an incision through which the collapsible insertion portion and the non-collapsible insertion portion may be inserted. 14. 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; andan insertion portion having a non-collapsible portion attached to the external portion and a collapsible portion attached to the non-collapsible portion, the collapsible portion comprising a flexible bellows having a first end connected with the non-collapsible portion and defining a distal port opening opposite the first end, wherein a diameter of the distal port opening is less than a diameter of the proximal port opening; andat least two tethers, each of the tethers attached at a first end to the collapsible portion adjacent the distal port opening, and attached at a second end to a retaining structure positioned on an opposite side of the external portion as the insertion portion, wherein the retaining structure is movable relative to the external portion, and wherein the at least two tethers are configured to retract the collapsible portion of the insertion portion in response to a movement of the retaining structure away from the external portion. 15. The port of claim 14, wherein the external portion and the insertion portion each comprise an antimicrobial material. 16. The port of claim 14, wherein the external portion comprises at least one tether guide positioned to guide movement of the at least two tethers through the external portion. 17. The port of claim 16, wherein the at least one tether guide is a slot in the external portion outside the proximal port opening of the port. 18. The port of claim 14, further comprising a membrane having a reclosable slit sized to seal the proximal port opening. 19. The port of claim 14, wherein the insertion portion comprises an antimicrobial material. 20. An in-dwelling port system for permitting access into a body, the system comprising: an in-dwelling port, the in-dwelling port comprising:an external portion configured for placement outside of an incision and defining a proximal port opening;an insertion portion configured for placement into the incision, the insertion portion having a non-collapsible portion attached to the external portion and a collapsible portion attached to the non-collapsible portion, the collapsible portion comprising a flexible bellows having a first end connected with the non-collapsible portion and defining a distal port opening opposite the first end, wherein a diameter of the distal port opening is less than a diameter of the proximal port opening; anda retraction assembly attached to the insertion portion, the retraction assembly comprising at least two tethers and a retaining structure, the at least two tethers connected to the collapsible portion at a first end and attached at a second end to the retaining structure, wherein the retaining structure is positioned on an opposite side of the external portion as the insertion portion, wherein the tethers are configured to retract the collapsible portion of the insertion portion in response to a movement of the retaining structure away from the external portion;an inserter, the inserter comprising:a hollow tube including a proximal end sized to receive a medical instrument and a distal end having a diameter less than a diameter of the proximal port opening and greater than a diameter of the distal port opening; anda plurality of ribs spaced positioned along the hollow tube;andwherein the retaining structure of the retraction assembly is sized to fit on the hollow tube of the inserter such that removal of the inserter from the proximal port opening results in retraction of the collapsible portion via the at least two tethers attached to the retaining structure.
