Swedish professor Mats Branstrom believes that within the next two to three years, the transplantation of the female uterus will be possible. The donor of the uterus can be a sister or another relative of the patient, without age restriction. The professor and his colleagues conducted a series of similar experiments on mice and pigs, and after some perfection of the method, they hope to start using it in public.

One of the advantages of the new method is the absence of the need to resort to the services of a surrogate mother - a method that causes numerous problems, including financial costs, and also the fact that in some countries surrogate motherhood is considered unethical and even illegal.

The transplantation of the uterus also excludes various legal issues that arise sometimes about who is considered the legitimate mother of the child: the one who carried it, or the one whose ovum was used. The birth in the case of pregnancy in the transplanted uterus will be performed by the cesarean section.

An attempt to transplant the uterus was undertaken several years ago in Saudi Arabia, however in that case the organ did not take root, and the uterus had to be removed by medicus. en.
