First ever womb transplant in the UK
In a groundbreaking operation, doctors in Oxford performed the first ever womb transplant in the UK. The surgery took over 17 hours and involved eight surgeons at the Oxford transplant centre. The recipient of the womb was the sister of the donor, who was born with a condition that affected the development of her own womb. This achievement opens up new possibilities for women who are born without a functioning womb, with approximately 1 in 4500 women affected by this condition.
