The patient was 80s woman, whose chief complaint of fever and abdominal pain. She visited our hospital, and further evaluation revealed sigmoid colon cancer invading the uterus and abdominal wall. The pooling of pus in the uterus was formed and we diagnosed as pyometra. The clinical diagnosis was T4b(uterus, abdominal wall)N0M0, cStage Ⅱc. We performed laparoscopic sigmoidectomy, uterus and bilateral ovaries. We report a case in which the intraoperative infrared illumination system(IRIS)was used to support the identification of the ureter by near-infrared light and total pelvic exenteration could be safely performed.
