Uterus Transplantation
Penn Uterus Transplant Program
Uterine transplantation is a major breakthrough in the field of fertility, and is offered through our clinical program after novel research conducted by the Women's Health Clinical Research Center. The goal of a uterus transplant is to enable women with uterine factor infertility to carry a child. 14 children have been born around the world to women who have undergone uterus transplantation. A uterine transplant is not for everyone and your physician may recommend other forms of treatment before deciding a uterus transplant is right for you. There is an extensive selection process of both the recipient and the donor prior to completing a uterine transplantation.
