“Got new womb with robothjälp – birth”
“A boy has been born after a livmodertransplantation where the surgery on the donor, the woman’s mother, made with computer-assisted laparoscopic surgery. It is the first child born with the help of technology.”
“the Transplant was done at Sahlgrenska university Hospital in October 2017. The operation of the donor was done using centimeter-sized entrance holes in the abdomen. Towards the end added a cut so that the uterus can be taken out, and then immediately surgically inserted in the receiver with open surgery.”
“Ten months later was transferred the embryo, created by in vitro fertilization, into the transplanted uterus. The pregnancy has been without complications. The boy was born with a planned caesarean in weeks of pregnancy 36, and was 48 centimeters and a weight of 2 900 gram.”
“Mats Brännström, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the Sahlgrenska academy, leads the research.”
