Abstract: Disclosed is a uterine manipulator that may automatically adjust a location and a posture of a uterus according to an input of a user. The uterine manipulator according to the inventive concept may allow a motion of a total of four degrees of freedom with a rotation of a 3 degree of freedom of rolling, pitching, and yawing, and a linear movement of one degree of freedom in a forward/rearward direction, and because the tip may be adjusted in a narrow space, surgical preciseness may be enhanced. Furthermore, because the surgical operator may manipulate the uterus through a direct input, a surgical time may be shortened.
