Brief Summary

More than a decade ago, uterus transplantation (UTx) as a highly experimental procedure was the treatment which had been developed for women suffering from absolute uterine factor infertility (AUFI) \[uterus absence (congenital and surgical), or an abnormality (anatomic and functional)\]. In Egypt, People's religions, current ethical and legal backgrounds make the option of live-donor uterus transplantation appealing rather than alternative pathways to parenthood. Thus, its clinical application for the first time in Egypt should be initiated after an extensive review and analysis of literature for UTx technology development in the world, and for further possible contributions to future prospects by Egypt proposed UTx project team which will participate in our study.
