Claim:
1. A surgical apparatus for positioning within a tissue tract accessing an underlying body cavity, comprising: a seal anchor member transitionable between an expanded condition and a compressed condition, the seal anchor member including a distal end, a proximal end, a longitudinal length defined between the proximal and distal ends, and a plurality of anchor segments selectively arranged in superposed relation along a longitudinal axis defined by the seal anchor member, each anchor segment defining an object port segment and a supplemental port segment spaced apart from the object port segment, the object port segments being aligned to define a longitudinal object port configured to receive a surgical object therethrough, the supplemental port segments being aligned to define a longitudinal supplemental port dimensioned to receive a securing member configured to retain the plurality of anchor segments in the superposed relation along the longitudinal axis of the seal anchor member, wherein the object port segment of a proximal-most anchor segment of the plurality of anchor segments is obstructed from the supplemental port segment of the proximal-most anchor segment such that the longitudinal object port and the longitudinal supplemental port are completely closed off from one another along the entire length of the seal anchor member.
