Abstract:
Uterine transplantation is a groundbreaking solution for absolute uterine factor infertility (AUFI), offering hope for motherhood. Advances in transplant surgeries and immunosuppressants have enabled thousands of women to safely become mothers. Approximately 1.5 million women globally suffer from AUFI and thus Uterine transplantation is a significant breakthrough in this arena. So far, 23 babies have been born from transplanted wombs. Uterine transplantation redefines possibilities for motherhood, empowering women's reproductive rights. Ethical considerations persist, but it marks significant progress in reproductive medicine and transplantation science. Further research is needed to evaluate risks and benefits for the future.
