Abstract

Uterine transplant is at a crossroads. It is possibly the best solution for approximately 4% of infertile women who undergo the frustration of being unable to conceive due to the absence of a uterus. In some cases, this absence is due to congenital abnormality (e.g. Rokitansky's syndrome). In other cases, it is due to surgical removal of the uterus at a relatively young age due to clinical emergencies, such as obstetric uterine rupture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
