1. A cannula for use as part of a surgical device, comprising: a base member at a proximal end; a sidewall connected to the base member and extending in an axial direction from the proximal end to a distal end; a bore extending in the axial direction defined by the base member and the sidewall, the sidewall further defining an opening into the bore between axially-extending edges of the sidewall; and a configurable guide insert detachably coupled to the base member; wherein the configurable guide insert includes a combination track including a circular opening and a slot opening, the circular opening extending through the configurable guide insert providing passage through the base member into the bore and the slot opening extending through the configurable guide insert providing passage through the base member into an action area outside the opening into the bore and radially between the edges of the sidewall; wherein the combination track is configured to slidably receive a first surgical implement through the circular opening and into the bore and slidably receive a second surgical implement through the slot opening and into the action area; wherein the configurable guide insert is detachably coupled to be positionable in a right orientation for positioning of the first and second surgical implements for a surgical procedure in a right side of a patient, or detachably coupled to be positionable in a left orientation for positioning of the first and second surgical implements for the surgical procedure in a left side of the patient; wherein the configurable guide insert is configured to be detachably coupled for rotation of 180 degrees about an axis perpendicular to a longitudinal axis defined by the cannula when positioning the configurable guide insert on the base member in the right orientation or in the left orientation; and wherein the configurable guide insert includes a set of markings configured to indicate whether the configurable guide insert is coupled to the base member in the right orientation for the surgical procedure in the right side of the patient or in the left orientation for the surgical procedure in the left side of the patient.
