The first baby was born from the donation of the dead
The mother of the unborn baby was born with a rare genetic disorder. The donor is a 45-year-old woman who has given birth three times and died of a cerebral vascular rupture.
A 32-year-old woman in Brazil successfully gave birth after a uterine transplant from a donor.
The mother of the unborn baby was born with a rare genetic disorder. The donor is a 45-year-old woman who has given birth three times and died of a cerebral vascular rupture. The baby was born in late 2017, published the first time in Lancet medical journal on December 4.
Dr. Dani Ejzenberg, Faculty of Medicine at Sao Paulo University, Brazil, said transplant surgery was performed in September 2016. Doctors have connected the donor uterus with the recipient's veins, arteries, ligaments and vagina. The surgery process lasts more than 10 hours.
The patient began taking immunosuppressive drugs, anticoagulant therapy and aspirin to prevent transplant rejection. More than a month later, patients with menstruation returned, the transplanted uterus showed no signs of rejection.
Embryo doctors were fertilized in vitro into the uterus of the patient, 7 months after surgery. Pregnancy goes smoothly. After 35 weeks, a 2.5kg girl was born with a caesarean form.

As soon as the baby is born, doctors decide to remove the implanted hysterectomy from the patient. " The reason for the long-term use of immunosuppressive drugs is very expensive. We want to use the funds to make implants for other unlucky women, " Dr. Dani said.
The research team said the success of this method offers hope for thousands of women who cannot give birth due to uterine problems. In addition, more people are willing and committed to donating organs when dying than living donors, providing a large number of potential donors.
Surgery from a dead donor has been done before, but the successful birth of a baby was first recorded in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Dr. Dani said girls have stable health and normal development.
Dr. Stuart Lavery, Hammersmith Hospital, England, said that theoretically the use of the uterus from deceased donors could allow transgender women to become pregnant.
