The port assembly (210) has a first end section (212) and a second end section (214). The first end section (212) includes a first end channel (212a) and a first gate assembly (212b). The second end section (214) includes a second end channel (214a), a second gate assembly (214b) and an anchor port (216). The first and second gate assemblies (212b, 214b) could make the transition between an open position to allow the access through the first and second end channels (212a, 214a), respectively, and a closed position to prevent the access. The in­ strument arm assembly (230) includes a shoulder section (231) securable to the anchor port, a first arm section (233) secured to the shoulder section (231), an elbow section (234) secured to the first arm section (233), a second arm section (235) secured to the el­ bow section (234), a wrist section (236) secured to the second arm section (235) and an end effector section (238) secured to the wrist section (236). A port assembly for use in a surgical system and a method of configuring a surgical system are also provided.
