Doctors in Saudi Arabia performed the world's first uterus transplant from a 46-year-old woman to a 26-year-old woman who had a hysterectomy due to a hemorrhage after childbirth. The transplant, which did not last more than 99 days due to blood clotting, was encouraging because it was the first step towards making childbirth possible for women who have had hysterectomies or urinary abnormalities.
Dr. John Fung, a surgeon at the University of Pittsburgh, questioned that view. He said: ''I think it is not appropriate when there are alternatives. This is not a lifesaving organ. You'd be taking a lot of risks.''Dr. Fung indicated that the Saudi doctors should have done more research before trying the operation on a human. "If you're concerned that the blood supply is compromised by just a kink, what is going to happen when the uterus expands during pregnancy?" Fung said.
The uterus transplant would be temporary and would be removed once the baby was born.
