title: Uterus transplantation from a deceased donor.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To demonstrate the technique for uterus retrieval and transplantation from a multiorgan donor.
  
  
  METHODS
  Video presentation of our case report. The video uses animation to demonstrate the technique. Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval was obtained.
  
  
  METHODS
  University hospital.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 21-year-old woman with complete müllerian agenesis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Uterus allotransplantation has been performed from a deceased donor.
  
  
  METHODS
  Acquirement of cyclic menstrual function.
  
  
  RESULTS
  This video demonstrates the technique for uterus retrieval, perfusion, and transplantation. The recipient patient has been monitored regularly for vascular flow, immunosuppression, and infection control since the operation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Uterus transplantation requires extensive evaluation of the recipient and donor by an experienced multidisciplinary transplantation team both pre- and postoperatively. It has major risks related to surgery, immunosuppression, and pregnancy. Uterus transplantation might be considered promising only after the birth of a near-term healthy baby.
