Womb transplant successfuly done in Sweden

Womb transplant successfuly done
in Sweden
Doctors at the University of Gothenburg Sweden
have successfully carried out womb transplant for
9 women who were born without a womb and are
waiting for them to get pregnant. This amazing
new kind of surgery is geared towards helping
women who are born without wombs, a medical
condition called MKRH or had there uterus
removed due to severe medical conditions such as
cervical cancer.
The wombs received were from mothers or female
relatives of the recipients. All nine women are
currently ovulating which is a good sign that the
wombs are doing fine inside the women. Continue..
Saudi Arabia is the first country in the world to
have carried out womb transplant in the year 2000
but the recipient recorded blood clot and so the
womb was removed. Turkey was the 2nd country
to try the womb transplant were they took womb
from dead people and transplanted into this
women but the process also failed as the women
lost their babies after 2 months of conception.
England is preparing to also carry out the process.
Head surgeon for this process Dr Mats
Brannstrom said
"This is a research study. It could lead to the
women having children, but there are no
guarantees …what is certain is that they are
making a contribution to science.".
