Uterus Transplantation for Absolute Uterine Factor Infertility

Absolute uterine factor infertility is a condition in which an individual is unable to achieve pregnancy due to an absent or non-functioning uterus. Uterus transplantation may present a childbearing option that is an alternative to existing family planning pathways, including adoption, foster parenting, and gestational carrier pregnancy. Uterus transplantation is a complex, multi-stage process involving a living or deceased donor, recipient, and genetic partner.
