Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Transplantation Surgery
  • Gynecology

Background:

  • Absolute uterine factor infertility affects approximately 1 in 500 women.
  • Current options for childbearing include adoption or gestational surrogacy.
  • No prior treatment existed for women with absent or dysfunctional uteruses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current worldwide experience of uterus transplantation.
  • To discuss the potential of uterus transplantation for treating uterine factor infertility.
  • To explore future prospects in human uterus transplantation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of global case reports on human uterus transplantation.
  • Analysis of outcomes from initial experimental uterus transplant procedures.
  • Synthesis of data from three countries performing uterus transplants.

Main Results:

  • Eleven human uterus transplantations have been reported globally.
  • Initial results exceed expectations for a novel surgical approach.
  • The procedure shows promise for enabling uterine factor infertility treatment.

Conclusions:

  • Uterus transplantation is a viable, albeit experimental, option for uterine factor infertility.
  • The success of early cases suggests significant future potential.
  • Further research and clinical practice are anticipated globally.
