About this Research Topic
The field of womb transplantation, a groundbreaking medical procedure, offers a potential solution for women suffering from Absolute Uterine Factor Infertility (AUFI). This condition can be due to congenital issues, malignancy, or other complications, and it is estimated that it affects hundreds of thousands of women worldwide. The potential impact of successful womb transplantation procedures is significant, not only in the field of transplant sciences but also in addressing widespread clinical and social issues related to infertility.
The primary aim of this research topic is to delve into the pioneering scientific, medical, and technological advancements that make uterus and womb transplantation a viable and safe procedure for those in need. It seeks to answer specific questions about the surgical techniques involved in the transplant process, the role of immunosuppressive therapies, and the physiological and psychological aspects of womb transplantation. It also aims to test hypotheses about the challenges and triumphs on the road to successful womb transplantation and the ethical, social, and cultural implications of this procedure.
To gather further insights into the range and limitations of womb transplantation, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes: surgical techniques involved in the transplant process and postoperative management; immunosuppressive therapies and donor-recipient matching considerations; the physiological and psychological aspects of womb transplantation; the road to the successful womb transplantation: challenges and triumphs; and ethical, social, and cultural implications of womb transplantation.
