"Groundbreaking Success: UK's First Womb Transplant Leads to Successful Birth"
Surgeons in the UK have successfully performed the country's first womb transplant on a 34-year-old woman with a rare condition called Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH), where the uterus is absent but ovaries are functioning. The organ was donated by her 40-year-old sister, and while this is the first such transplant in the UK, around 100 similar procedures have been carried out worldwide, resulting in the birth of approximately 50 babies.
