#uterus transplant
Dr Narendra Kaushik of New Dehli plans transplant the organs of a deceased donor or from a trans man to a transgender women in the hopes of them being able to carry a child.
There have been several successful uterus transplants so far, but those have been between two cis women.
Dr. Narendra Kaushik is a plastic, cosmetic and reconstructive surgeon who has 15 years of experience working with transgender patients.
“This is the future. We cannot predict exactly when this will happen but it will happen very soon.We have our plans and we are very very optimistic about this.“
There has only been one well-known case of a trans woman having a uterus transplant - but she died just months later after suffering complications.
It cannot actually connect the woman’s uterus to the fallopian tubes, so the op doesn’t lead to anyone becoming pregnant naturally.
But experts claim it is theoretically possible to impregnate a trans woman using IVF, with the embryo being implanted.
A paper published in the International Journal of Transgender Health, Loren Schechter and her colleagues presents a proof of concept for transgender recipients.
