Claim 10:
11. A surgical robotic access system providing robotic manipulator access into a patient's body, the surgical robotic access system comprising:
a sealing cap arranged to be disposed externally to a patient's body, the sealing cap including a flexible seal, and wherein the sealing cap further comprises a sealing cap ring, the sealing cap ring being configured to attach with the flexible seal;
a retractor comprising an outer ring removably connected to the sealing cap and an inner ring arranged to be positioned within the patient's body; and
a robotic insertion tube comprising an outer access connector and an inner access connector, wherein the outer access connector is removably coupled to a robotic sleeve and the inner access connector is embedded in the flexible seal of the sealing cap, wherein the robotic insertion tube has a lumen extending through the outer access connector and the inner access connector and the flexible seal covers a portion of the lumen through which a surgical robotic manipulator would be insertable therethrough thereby inserting through the flexible seal covering the portion of the lumen,
wherein the flexible seal has a cavity and a portion disposed around and surrounding the cavity, the inner access connector being at least partially embedded in the flexible seal in an area associated with the cavity and the portion of the flexible seal being disposed surrounding the inner access connector.
