Summary
This scoping review maps 324 complications and adverse events in uterus transplantation, identifying key risks for recipients, living donors, and newborns. The UTx Observatory provides a foundation for risk mitigation strategies.
Area of Science:
- Reproductive Medicine
- Transplantation Surgery
- Women's Health
Background:
- Uterus transplantation is an emerging field offering fertility options to women with uterine factor infertility.
- Comprehensive risk assessment is crucial for patient safety and successful outcomes in uterus transplantation.
- Existing literature on uterus transplantation risks is fragmented, necessitating a systematic overview.
Conclusions:
- The UTx Observatory system categorizes uterus transplantation risks, aiding in developing targeted risk-mitigation strategies.
- Findings inform healthcare providers, authorities, and patients involved in uterus transplantation.
- This systematic risk mapping supports future research and clinical interventions in uterus transplantation.

01:24Tissue Transplantation
Tissue transplantation is a significant medical procedure involving the transfer of cells, tissues, or organs from a donor to a recipient, with the primary aim of restoring lost functions. This procedure is crucial in treating a broad spectrum of diseases, including kidney diseases, liver failure, heart disease, and certain types of cancers.

01:28Kidney Transplant I: Introduction
A kidney transplant is a surgical approach that involves replacing a non-functioning kidney with a healthy one from a donor. This procedure is often a treatment option for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. The method requires careful recipient selection, including evaluating various medical and psychosocial factors. These criteria vary between transplant centers but generally include assessments of the patient's overall health, adherence to medical recommendations, and lifestyle...
01:26Kidney Transplant II: Surgical Procedure
Preoperative ManagementThe primary goals of preoperative management in kidney transplantation are to optimize the patient’s metabolic state and prepare them for surgery through diet adjustments, necessary dialysis, and tailored medical treatment. This phase also involves comprehensive infection screening and patient education about the surgical procedure and postoperative care to improve outcomes and adherence.Medical ManagementA comprehensive evaluation is required for both the living donor...
