Temporary uterus transplants to benefit women to give birth in US
Advertisement
After completing a practice run on a organ donor; first with the kidney transplant, a team of six doctors are reported to have done a rare surgery of a uterus transplant from the same donor. This group of Surgeons at the Cleveland Clinic hopes to achieve the uterus transplant milestone, giving hope to many women who can thus become pregnant and give birth.
Cases of recipients, who were born with without a uterus, had it removed or have uterine damage, will benefit from such temporarily transplant; set with a single-fold purpose of giving birth to one or two babies. Once the woman is able to conceive once or twice, the uterus will be removed, and clinically, she won't be required to take the transplant anti-rejection drugs.
The risks anti-rejection drugs, and the surgery itself is what these healthy women will be exposed to, while undergoing the transplant they choose. The risk factor doesn't stop here. The high risk pregnancies, accompanied by the fact of the fetuses bearing the risk of anti-rejection drugs in the womb also need to be strongly considered. Specialists attention from both -reproductive medicine and transplant surgery field will be required by the patient.
