Uterus transplantation: where do we stand today and where should we go?
If transplantation of the uterus is developed into a safe method with a reasonable chance for the patient to carry an uneventful pregnancy, this procedure could become a feasible fertility treatment for women with absolute uterus factor infertility. The activity in this research field is growing and during the past 5 years several reports have been published. In this brief review the authors summarize the state of research in this field and also speculate on what might lie ahead.
