The first-ever baby in the United States to be born from a transplanted uterus was successfully delivered in Dallas, Texas. The mother, a woman who was born without a uterus, received the organ from a living donor as part of an ongoing uterine transplant clinical trial designed to help women with absolute uterine factor infertility (AUI).
This groundbreaking achievement occurred at Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas, a part of Baylor Scott & White Health, which conducts the uterus transplant clinical trial through Baylor Scott & White Research Institute.
According to Baylor University Medical Center, this landmark birth marks an important milestone in the effort to help women with AUI, a condition in which the uterus is underdeveloped and doesn’t function properly, or is simply absent. The clinical trial, conducted over the past year and a half, enlists patients with AUI who undergo in vitro fertilization, followed by a uterus transplant from an either living or deceased donor.
