Claim 13:
14. The surgical device of claim 10, further comprising:
an obturator; and
the cannula 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; and
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;

wherein the configurable guide insert detachably couples to the base member and the circular opening extends passageway to the base member into the bore and the slot opening extends passageway to the base member into an action area outside of the opening of the bore and radially between the edges of the sidewall;
wherein the combination track slidably receives the obturator through the circular opening and into the bore when the configurable guide insert is positioned 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; and
wherein the configurable guide insert is configured for rotation of 180 degrees by a user relative to an axis defined by the cannula when detachably coupling the configurable guide insert to the base member from the right orientation to the left orientation or from the left orientation to the right orientation.
