Main Results:

UTx is an experimental procedure, early in the IDEAL framework, particularly for de novo trials.
New trials may involve protocol deviations and researcher inexperience.
Existing successful outcomes provide a foundation for further evidence.

Conclusions:

Countries should leverage existing UTx successes to strengthen the evidence base.
Ethical governance of new UTx trials requires careful consideration.
Drawing on surgical innovation ethical frameworks is advised for UTx trial oversight.
