Baylor University Medical Center performs first living-donor uterus transplants in the U.S.
Today, Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas released details on the first four living-donor uterine transplants performed in the United States as part of a clinical trial under Institutional Review Board approval. These first four surgeries were performed in September.
This announcement comes after two years of preparation and a careful review of all 16 previous uterine transplants performed across the world, led by the passion and dedication of the Baylor University Medical Center surgical team.
“The implication going from an organ that saves lives to an organ that produces lives is simply fascinating to me, and I became infected with this idea,” said Giuliano Testa, MD, principal investigator and surgical chief of abdominal transplantation at Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas.
