Uterine transplant for international patients

Leading-edge uterine transplant surgery

In the past, being diagnosed with uterine factor infertility (UFI) meant it wasn’t possible to get pregnant and deliver a baby. Now, innovative research has led to the development of uterine transplant surgery, which allows people to receive a healthy donor uterus so they can carry a child.

As one of the few skilled facilities in the world to perform uterus transplants, our expert team at the Penn Transplant Institute brings together specialists from a variety of fields to undertake this complex procedure. This major advancement in fertility medicine gives would-be parents new hope to experience pregnancy and childbirth.

The uterine transplant process

At Penn Medicine, the uterus transplant process involves transferring a healthy uterus from a living or deceased donor to a recipient. The Penn Transplant Institute oversees all aspects of the care plan and execution for both donors and recipients. We answer your questions and guide you through the entire process, from pre-surgical preparation to recovery, as part of our full services.
