Surgeons have successfully transplanted a donor womb from one sister to another.
The UK’s first womb transplant means that, in future, dozens of women born without a functioning organ can carry babies of their own.Surgeons have performed the UK’s first womb transplant on a 34-year-old woman whose older sister donated the organ to her.
The first successful womb transplant took place in Sweden in 2014, with the baby – Vincent – born to a 36-year-old woman who described him as “perfect”. To date, womb transplants have been carried out in more than 10 countries, including Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Sweden, the US, China, Czech Republic, Brazil, Germany, Serbia and India.Data from the US shows that more than half of women who received a womb through a transplant in the US went on to have successful pregnancies.
Transplants could help women born without a functioning womb and those who lose their organ to cancer or other conditions.
