GYN: Laparoscopy with IUD in situ

Any thoughts about whether to place or not place a uterine manipulator
in a patient with a Mirena, in whom I'm going to do a laparoscopy for an
ovarian cyst?
I normally use a HUMI type, or a Pelosi, the latter only going into the
uterus around 4 cm., and held on with a tenaculum. The diameter is
around 0.4 cm.
I also could use a shallow cannula, such as a Kahn/Cohen (not sure of
the name).
