Pioneering Uterus Transplant Carried Out in Sweden
A team of researchers, physicians and specialists from the University of Gothenburg performed the world's first mother-to daughter uterus transplantation, when two Swedish women received new wombs donated by their mothers.
Two unnamed Swedish women, who are both aged in their 30s, received wombs from their mothers in procedur by a team surgeons from Gothenburg University.
One of the daughters had her uterus removed many years ago due to surgery for cervical cancer, while the other was born without the organ.
The women will now wait a year for the two wombs to settle before doctors attempt to implant embryos.Both have already undergone IVF and the resultant embryos are being stored in the deep freeze.
Should the pregnancies be successful the women will give birth to babies who are genetically their own, as the doctors took eggs from their functioning ovaries.
