Article Synopsis
- Congenital uterine anomalies can impact reproductive capabilities, and uterus transplantation (UTx) is a potential solution for women dealing with absolute uterine factor infertility, but there are currently no standardized management protocols for these cases.
- A literature review of 36 reports highlighted 55 pregnancies and 38 live births following UTx, with living donor transplants showing higher success rates, but also noted common complications such as miscarriage and pre-eclampsia.
- The study emphasizes the need for more research to refine UTx procedures and improve outcomes for both mothers and newborns, focusing on donor and recipient characteristics.
