Abstract

Current data on uterus allotransplantation research has been reviewed and summarized. Over the past 15 years, progress in uterus transplanta -tion research has increased dramatically. As a consequence, the first pregnancy and delivery following uterus allotransplantation in rats havebeen reported. The technique has been better defined. Although clinical pregnancy and delivery following uterus allotransplantation has beenreported in humans, there are still many questions to be answered before clinical application. Gestational surrogacy still remains an importantoption for being a genetic parent in selected cases with uterine factor infertility.
