72. The method of claim 71, further including securing the instrument near the secondary guide lumen before removing the sheath.
73. The method of claim 72, in which removing the sheath includes pulling the sheath out in a plurality of pieces.
74. A method including:
introducing a sheath through a portal in a surface to a target location;
introducing an instrument through the sheath to the target location;
rotating first and second portions of the sheath with respect to each other to create an access opening in the sheath above the surface of the portal, thereby exposing a portion of the instrument;
securing an exposed portion of the instrument; and removing the sheath.
introducing a sheath through a portal in a surface to a target location;
introducing an instrument through the sheath to the target location;
rotating first and second portions of the sheath with respect to each other to create an access opening in the sheath above the surface of the portal, thereby exposing a portion of the instrument;
securing an exposed portion of the instrument; and removing the sheath.
75. A method including:
securing a base portion of a guide lumen carrying assembly around an entry portal in a surface, the guide lumen providing a trajectory axis, and the body portal providing a portal normal axis that is orthogonal to the surface of the body portal;
adjusting an angle between the trajectory axis and the portal normal axis by pivoting an arcuate portion of the guide lumen carrying assembly with respect to the base; and adjusting the angle between the trajectory axis and the portal normal axis by sliding a portion of the guide lumen carrying assembly along the arcuate portion of the guide lumen carrying assembly.
securing a base portion of a guide lumen carrying assembly around an entry portal in a surface, the guide lumen providing a trajectory axis, and the body portal providing a portal normal axis that is orthogonal to the surface of the body portal;
adjusting an angle between the trajectory axis and the portal normal axis by pivoting an arcuate portion of the guide lumen carrying assembly with respect to the base; and adjusting the angle between the trajectory axis and the portal normal axis by sliding a portion of the guide lumen carrying assembly along the arcuate portion of the guide lumen carrying assembly.
