Published: September 2023

Uterus transplantation is a novel approach in women whose uterus is absent or severely abnormal. However, it is still an experimental procedure that poses risks to both mother and baby. To date, 32 live births after uterus transplantation have been reported in peer-reviewed journals, with several maternal, fetal and neonatal complications. The most common complications were preterm delivery, hypertensive disorders and placenta previa. Four patients experienced episodes of transplant rejection during pregnancy. The appropriate management of complicated and non-complicated pregnancies following uterus transplantation is still unresolved. In this review, obstetric outcomes after uterus transplantation and optimal management during pregnancy are discussed in light of the available data. © 2022 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
