First Successful Womb Transplant Conducted in the UK
Surgeons in the United Kingdom have successfully conducted the first womb transplant on a 34-year-old woman. The woman’s sister served as the living womb donor for the procedure. The recipient had a rare congenital condition that left her womb underdeveloped. The surgery took place at Churchill Hospital in Oxford and lasted nine hours. The successful outcome marks a significant advancement in reproductive medicine and offers hope to women with similar conditions.
