HOW SUCCESSFUL ARE UTERUS TRANSPLANTS?
Uterus transplantation has been found to be risk-free for the receiver, the living donor, and the child in studies where more than 80% of recipients had a viable graft at 1 year following transplant (19 of 23) produced at least 1 live birth. Saying that women with uterine-factor infertility may be able to have children with uterus transplant.
AFTER RECEIVING A NEW UTERUS, IS PREGNANCY POSSIBLE?
Among the 14 technically successful transplants, 11 patients experienced at least one live birth. Live birth rates for transplants that have been attempted so far are 55% and 79%, respectively.
RISK TO FETUS
The possible risk of immunosuppressive medications to fetus is another potential drawback of uterine transplant. Although there is no proof that the standard three-drug immunosuppressant causes birth abnormalities, people on these medications frequently experience premature deliveries and neonatal growth restriction. To keep an eye on these possible side effects and evaluate the overall performance of the uterus transplant, regular postoperative checkups are necessary.
