Abstract

Absolute uterine factor infertility (AUFI) is defined as the absence of a uterus or the presence of a non-functional uterus. Before the first live birth from a uterus transplant in 2014, the only fertility options for women with AUFI were surrogacy and adoption. In November 2019, our team was granted approval for the first uterus transplant trial in Australia using known living donors. Our program is based on that of our overseas collaborators in Dallas, Texas; this team will also be proctoring us for our first two cases.<br /> (© 2021 The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.)
