A uterine manipulator is described that includes an elongated, hollow shafthaving aproximal end and a distal end. The hollow shaft defines a channel and has anon-opaquedistal tip. A handle is positioned on a proximal portion of the shaft and aninflatable balloonis supported on a distal portion of the shaft. The inflatable balloon istransitional from adeflated state to an inflated state. A cervical cup is movably positionedalong the shaft from adistal position to a proximal position. The channel of the shaft isdimensioned to receive anendoscope to facilitate visualization of a body lumen through the non-opaquedistal tip of theshaft. In embodiments, the cervical cup defines a rim that is positioned toabut the inflatableballoon when the cervical cup is in its distal position. The rim includes aplurality of distallyfacing lights that function to identify placement of the cervical cup inrelation to the cervix.
