First Mother-to-daughter Uterus Transplant Performed In Sweden by Nobody: 8:16am On Sep 19, 2012
STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Doctors in Sweden have performed the world's first mother-to-daughter uterus transplants, a medical team said on Tuesday.

The University of Gothenburg said two Swedish women, both in their 30s, received wombs from their mothers in surgery carried out in a hospital in western Sweden over the weekend. The identity of the women was not disclosed.

"More than 10 surgeons, who had trained together on the procedure for several years, took part in the complicated surgery," said team leader Mats Brannstrom, professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Gothenburg.

One of the women had her uterus removed many years ago due to cervical cancer while the other was born without one, the university said in a statement.

"Both patients who received new uteri are doing fine but are tired after surgery. The donating mothers are up and walking and will be discharged from the hospital within a few days."

The university said it estimated that between 2,000 and 3,000 women of child-bearing age in Sweden alone were unable to bear children due the lack of a uterus.

The medical team said the quality of the uterus was controlled by the ovaries and the hormones feeding into it, and in theory a transplanted, post-menopausal uterus could carry a baby.

One of the two recipients, identified only by the name Anna, said she realized some may criticize the operation on ethical grounds, but that for her it simply meant restoring a bodily function, of which she had been deprived by cancer.

"It feels huge to be able to experience this," she said in comments posted on the website of the Sahlgrenska hospital where the operations were carried out without any complications.

She said there were still no guarantees she and her boyfriend would be able to conceive. "We have received a wonderful opportunity, and if it works out it is a lovely bonus."

this is serious o! is it not better to do surrogacy for these women rather than a complicated surgery. Thank God they are ok but I keep wondering if its worth it.

Moral of this story, before you marry any lady from Sweden, check if she has her uterus intact.wink

Well, it's Sweden. It's a complicated surgery, sure, but surgeons have been transplanting organs for years now. It is worth it, especially something like this. A chance at bearing a child? Words can't describe.

Wow! This is strange. Well, strange things keeps happening in medical science. The frontiers of science stops where human imagination ends.

But I wonder if the transplanted uterus could be able to perform its physiological function of housing and nurturing baby for nine months. Uterus that has had minor surgical procedure finds it difficult at times to perform its physiological role. Let alone the transplanted uterus.

Hey now, don't speak like that. Have pride in your country and work to make it better. Even small individual changes can affect the future. Never give up yourself and your people. Even though I poke fun in my signature, I am always proud to be American no matter the circumstances.

Abeg, medical expect, so a woman can be born without Uterus, ah.
This is a vital information, women and their husband should take note of this.
This will save them from religious vampire keeping their hope alive on bearing child citing Sera case.

This is really great.

PLS, religious retadeens WITH COMMENTS LIKE "WORLD IS COMMING TO AN END" should not comment on this post.

When there are medical breakthrough going on around the world, we are here moving backward with such comments,

Abeg, This is not a case of woman gave birth to horse, a baby with tesbiu, qurian etc.

With this surgery, mothers can donate her uterus to her daughter to save her marriage.
