The 1st US uterus transplant was conducted this week by a group of surgeons at Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio. A beneficial uterus from a deceased organ donor was transplanted during a nine-hour process into a 26-year-old lady who was born without a uterus. The recipient is in a stable condition.
Uterine factor infertility is an irreversible case in which a lady is either born without a uterus or has a uterus that has sustained critical damage that stops pregnancy. It affects 3‑5 percent of ladies worldwide and, until now, females so affected were not capable to carry their own offspring and had to utilize the adoption or surrogacy to begin a family.
Uterine transplants have been completed victoriously at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. So far 9 uteruses have been transplanted from live post-menopausal donors. Four of the recipient women have given birth to healthy babies, and more babies are due. 2 of the transplants failed.
