Breakthroughs help women who don't have a uterus give birth

The first child formed from a donor uterus may be born next year, after 9 infertile women have received a new uterine transplant.

According to experts, 9 women who were born without a uterus or had it removed due to cancer, were transplanted with this organ thanks to the donation of close relatives. They will then undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF) in a pioneering experiment in Sweden

The new womb will not only allow these women to experience pregnancy, but also help them to have children with their own genetic genes. In particular, recipients of donors from their mother will use the uterus that has fostered them to accommodate their child.

These breakthrough transplants are raising hope for millions of infertile women around the world. However, this method is currently controversial, as it involves extracting the uterus from living donors. The Swedish expert team is very supportive of this method because the transplants are generally in better condition and more suitable for the recipient's immune system.

Meanwhile, some experts in the same field object to bringing live organ donors through a major surgery, when that doesn't work to save lives. They said that the best option is to use the uterus from a dead donor. This will allow doctors to implant more important tissues and blood vessels needed for pregnancy.

Dr. Mats Brannstrom from the University of Gothenburg (Sweden), who has spent more than a decade completing complex, related surgical techniques, declared: "This is a new kind of surgery." He added that women who have had uterine transplants are doing well and will soon be conceived by IVF, but there is no guarantee they will succeed.

Richard Smith, the head of the UK uterine charity fund, described the Swedish "very amazing" breakthrough and the successful birth of a child thanks to this approach that will strengthen similar projects. self all over the world. Any child formed from this method is likely to be born with a caesarean birth and the implanted uterus will be removed after one or two pregnancies.

Women who received the uterus are currently taking strong immunosuppressive drugs, but the experts' greatest concern is whether the graft-supply prostate will withstand the stresses of pregnancy, when the supply will bulge from the size of a pear to the size of a watermelon.

The world's first uterine transplant took place in Saudi Arabia in 2000. However, the woman's body rejected the donor department after four months. In 2011, Turkish doctors carried out a successful transplant, but Derya Sert patient was miscarried in the year.
