About this Research Topic
Womb transplantation, a revolutionary procedure, offers a potential solution for women with Absolute Uterine Factor Infertility (AUFI), either from congenital conditions, malignancy, or other complications. Globally, it’s estimated that hundreds of thousands of women are affected by AUFI, making the potential impact of successful womb transplantation procedures monumental not only in the field of transplant sciences but also in addressing pervasive clinical and social issues related to infertility.
This Research Topic aims to delve into the pioneering scientific, medical, and technological advancements and how these breakthroughs make uterus and womb transplantation a viable and safe procedure for those in need.
We invite original research papers, reviews, and clinical investigations that explore various aspects related to womb transplantation, such as:
1. Surgical techniques involved in the transplant process and postoperative management.
2. Immunosuppressive therapies and donor-recipient matching considerations.
3. The physiological and psychological aspects of womb transplantation.
4. The road to the successful womb transplantation: Challenges and triumphs.
5. Ethical, social, and cultural implications of womb transplantation.
We hope that this Research Topic will provide a platform for dialogue among researchers, clinicians, ethicists, and patients, fostering a comprehensive understanding of recent advancements and the future scope of womb transplantation.
