Australia’s ABC News reported that a woman named Kirsty Bryant, who lives in New South Wales (NSW), gave birth to a healthy 2.9 kg baby boy by caesarean section at the Royal Women’s Hospital in Sydney on December 15.
Kirsty, who underwent an emergency hysterectomy due to heavy bleeding after giving birth to her first child in 2021, underwent a 16-hour surgery last January to transplant a uterus donated by her mother Michelle. Because she desperately wanted a second child. She could not hide her surprise and joy when she found out that she was pregnant three months after implanting the embryo in the transplanted uterus.
Dr. Rebecca Deans and Swedish surgeon Dr. Mats Bränström performed the uterine transplant and continued to support the family until the baby was born. Dr. Bränström performed the world’s first successful uterine transplant and gave birth in Sweden in 2014.
Dr. Deans said, “This [연구] “The trial is the culmination of 25 years of collaborative research and persistence on a global scale,” he said. “It is very special to witness this medical breakthrough that has given birth to new life.” “As this is the first transplant surgery in the Oceania region, everyone is very happy that everything went smoothly and we were able to give birth to a beautiful, healthy baby boy.”
Dr Deans added that Kirsty could have another child if she wanted, as this surgery involved a lower segment incision during the caesarean section.
The boy, who was named Henry Bryant, is currently breastfeeding and doing well.
Hope for women with infertility due to uterine factors… The first successful uterine transplant in Korea
This case gives hope to women who are infertile due to uterine factors, such as those born without a uterus or who have had a hysterectomy due to cancer or childbirth complications, that they can have their own children without methods such as adoption or surrogacy.
Recently, the first uterine transplant surgery was successfully performed in Korea. The multidisciplinary uterine transplant team at Samsung Seoul Hospital (team leader, Professor Jay Park of Transplant Surgery) attracted attention by announcing the news of successful uterine transplantation at the Korean Society of Transplantation International Conference held last month.
In January of this year, Professor Jay Park’s team succeeded in transplanting a brain-dead uterus into a 35-year-old woman with MRKH (Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser) syndrome, a disease in which the uterus and vagina are absent or underdeveloped from birth.
This woman experienced menstruation for the first time in her life 29 days after transplantation, and has maintained a regular menstrual cycle since then. The patient had regular menstruation for the next 6 months, and the biopsy showed no rejection, so it was evaluated as a success.
Currently, the transplanted uterus appears to be functioning normally as the patient’s menstrual cycle is regular, and the patient and the uterus transplant team are reportedly preparing for pregnancy.
