1. A system comprising:
an insufflator configured to supply insufflation fluid to a patient cavity, the insufflator comprising a processor and a computer-readable media having logic stored thereon;
an access port comprising a cap and a retractor, the access port facilitating access therethrough to the patient cavity;
a primary pressure sensor located in or on the access port and configured to determine a pressure measurement indicative of a pressure of the patient cavity;
a conduit configured to facilitate delivery of the insufflation fluid to the patient cavity via the access port;
wherein:
the insufflator is communicatively coupled to the primary pressure sensor; and
the logic stored on the computer-readable media is configured, when executed on the processor, to:
receive the pressure measurement from the primary pressure sensor; and
control the supply of the insufflation fluid to the patient cavity based on the pressure measurement from the primary pressure sensor.
