Doctors in Britain have secured the approval to carry out the country's firsttempted womb transplants as part of a clinical trial. Last year, a baby inSweden became the first in the world to be delivered following a successfulwomb transplant, Fergus Walsh reports. “Around one in 5000 women is bornwithout uterus, and already more than 100 potential transplant recipients havebeen identified by the UK team. Unlike in Sweden where the womb was donated bya friend of the recipient, the British team will use organs from deceaseddonors. The woman will need to take immunosuppress drugs to prevent the wombbeing rejected. These carry long term health risks, so surgeons will remove thewomb either 6 months after birth or once they have tried for a second baby.
