A surgical access device (100, 200, 210), comprising: (a) a cannula having a proximal end, a distal end, and a cannula lumen extending therebetween; (b) a housing assembly (102, 212) coupled to the proximal end of the cannula, wherein the housing assembly defines a housing interior in communication with the cannula lumen; (c) a working channel (38, 132, 230) extending from a proximal end of the surgical access device to a distal end of the surgical access device along a central axis thereof, wherein the working channel is defined by the cannula lumen and the housing interior, wherein the working channel is configured to receive a surgical instrument therethrough; (d) an insufflation port (40, 134, 236) configured to direct insufflation fluid into the working channel; (e) a first needle port that opens to the working channel through a first side portion of the surgical access device, wherein the first needle port comprises a first needle entrance port and a first needle exit port arranged distally of the first needle entrance port, wherein the first needle entrance port and the first needle exit port together define a first suture path extending obliquely across the central axis of the surgical access device; and wherein the first needle entrance port is diametrically opposed from the insufflation port; and (f) a second needle port that opens to the working channel through a second side portion of the surgical access device, wherein the second needle port comprises a second needle entrance port and a second needle exit port arranged distally of the second needle entrance port, wherein the second needle entrance port and the second needle exit port together define a second suture path extending obliquely across the central axis of the surgical access device; wherein each of the first and second needle ports is configured to direct a suture passer needle through the surgical access device, across the working channel, at an oblique angle relative to the central axis; and characterised in that the second needle port is circumferentially offset from the insufflation port.
