Procedure
Uterus transplantation starts with uterus retrieval surgery on the donor. Working techniques for this exist for animals, including primates. It may need to be stored for e.g. transportation to the location of the donor. Studies on cold-ischemia/reperfusion indicate an ischemic tolerance of >24 h. The following insertion procedure, with vascular anastomosis, has not been fully developed in animal models, indicated by frequent thrombosis formation.
