Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Uterine transplantation (UT) is an emerging medical treatment for women affected by absolute uterine factor infertility (AUFI). To date there have been over 90 documented cases of UT performed worldwide, with over 50 live births. UT allows women affected by AUFI the opportunity to carry and deliver a childd. The Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (RPAH) introduced a UT study in 2019; however, due to the impacts of the COVID pandemic the study was placed on hold for two years. In February 2023, RPAH performed the centre's first UT from a living unrelated donor to a 25-year-old woman with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome. The donor and recipient surgeries were uncomplicated and both are recovering well in the early post-operative period.
