Abstract
Until 2014, the options available for women suffering from absolute uterine factor infertility (AUFI) to experience motherhood were adoption or surrogacy and uterine transplantation (UTx) changes this paradigm, emerging as a possible treatment for these patients and despite being associated with a significant risk of morbidity, with 3 or 4 surgeries and immunosuppression being indispensable until hysterectomy is performed, studies prove that pregnancy after UTx is possible, safe and capable of creating healthy newborns.
