Uterus and Ovarian Transplantation

Dear Colleagues,

Uterus transplantation (UTx) is now a possible approach for women with absolute uterine factor infertility to deliver a child, following the first successful delivery by Brännström et al. in Sweden in September 2014. This remarkable achievement attracted major attention worldwide and caused many countries to prepare for UTx.

Also, ovarian tissue transplantation (OTT) following cryopreservation is considered to be an important procedure of fertility preservation, and these have already been reported that there are around 200 live birth cases. However, the procedure is still in the unestablished procedures and there is still room for development.

This Special Issue will be beneficial to understanding the current situation of UTx and OTT, discussing unresolved issues, and sharing progress and knowledge, for the future development of gynecological organs transplantation.  

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Transplantology.
