tunnel incision or side-port incisions / main incision or side-port incisions
Hi Nikki!
As an ophthalmologist here is my explanation:
During cataract surgery with phaco technique, we first make a main clear corneal incision in the form of a tunnel (in this way it will have self-seal) for inserting the handpiece and another one narrow side incision at a 60 or 90-degree angle to the tunnel for manipulation with other surgical instruments - if needed two side-port incisions can be made.
At the end of the surgery we leave these wounds sutureless, however if we see a risk of leakage we put a 10/0 nylon suture to the tunnel incision, less likely to the side-port incision.
So for "puerto principal" you can use "main incision" or "tunnel incision" and the "acesorios" would be the "side-port incisions".

main port or accessories
Given the texts quoted below, I'm pretty sure "port" is correct, although the "accessories" might be better translated as auxiliary or secondary.
"The surgery begins with the making of three tiny holes (ports) in the white (sclera) of the eye, allowing instruments to be introduced into your eye."
"In 1974, Conor O'Malley and Ralph Heintz developed the modern-day three-port vitrectomy system – with dedicated ports for vitreous removal "...
