Just two weeks! The first uterus transplanted in the United States to remove the implanted uterus

Release date: 2016-04-12

A doctor at the Cleveland Clinic in the United States performed a uterine transplant on a 26-year-old woman. Two weeks later, the transplanted uterus had to be removed on March 9 because of the common microbial infection of the female reproductive system (bacterial vaginal yeast infection) and uterine blood supply. The interval between the two operations was only 2 weeks. Because the vaginal tissue of the donor is also involved in the surgery, it is currently unknown whether the infection is from a donor or a recipient.

The donor woman who underwent a uterine transplant was a 30-year-old woman who died suddenly. The recipient woman was named Lindsey McFarland. She and her husband had adopted three children, but they were eager to give birth to their children. Lindsey said in a statement released in March that it is unfortunate that the dream of uterine transplantation has returned to its original location.

She said: "I just want to spend a little time expressing my gratitude to all the doctors. To ensure my health and safety, the doctors acted very quickly. Although I unfortunately lost the womb, I am fine, thank you for all. Praying and kind people."

The New York Times reported that doctors at the Cleveland Clinic plan to do more research on the surgery to avoid similar problems in the future. Among the measures being considered are the prevention of the use of antifungal drugs, washing of donor and recipient tissues to reduce the risk of infection.

Doctors say they are limiting the residue of the uterus transplanted into the body because women must take strong drugs to prevent the body from resisting the transplanted uterus. Women who don't want to transplant the uterus have to rely on drugs to allow the body to accept the transplant. uterus.

This is the first uterine transplant in the United States. The technology was first carried out in Sweden. As of September last year, 9 uterine transplants have been completed, and 5 pregnancies have been reached, giving birth to 4 babies. In addition, the baby born in the transplanted uterus is doing very well.
