A team of surgeons in the UK has successfully performed the first womb transplant on a woman, offering hope to infertile women.
The recipient, who was born with an underdeveloped womb due to a rare condition, received her sister’s uterus in a nine-hour operation.
She plans to have two children through IVF. This pioneering procedure has been carried out in other countries with over 90 such transplants and about 50 babies born as a result.
A second UK womb transplant is planned for the coming months, and there are preparations for more surgeries.
The transplant could help women born without a womb and those who lose their wombs due to cancer or other conditions.
Additionally, there is interest in non-related altruistic donors contributing to this life-changing opportunity.
Surgeons also hope to use living donors who are not relatives but are offering their organs altruistically.
A surgeon who was part of the successful surgery said: “We have women contacting the charity … such as young women who say ‘I don’t want to have children but I would love to help others have a child’ or ‘I’ve already had my children I would love other women to have that experience’. So yes, there will definitely be a time in which that is a main source of donors.”
