Uterus transplantation

Uterus transplantation is a medical procedure that allows women without a functioning uterus—due to conditions like congenital absence or complications from surgery—to have the option of pregnancy. In this process, a healthy uterus is surgically implanted from a donor. After recovery, the recipient can undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF) to achieve pregnancy. The transplanted uterus can support a pregnancy for a period of time, after which it may be removed, or it can remain if the woman seeks to conceive again. This innovative treatment empowers women who previously faced infertility issues related to uterine absence.
