Uterus Transplants Show High Success Rates for Infertile Women

New study reveals promising outcomes but highlights significant medical risks and high costs.

14 out of 20 women had successful transplants, resulting in 16 live births.
Recipients experienced a 50% complication rate, including gestational hypertension and preterm labor.
No congenital abnormalities or developmental delays were reported in the children born.
The procedure costs between $100,000 and $300,000, not covered by insurance.
Both living and deceased donors faced surgical risks, with 22% of living donors experiencing complications.
