Uterus transplantation (UTx) is an alternative to gestational surrogacy and adoption for patients with absolute uterine infertility. Studies have been conducted in animals, and UTx is now within the reach of clinical application in humans. Procedures in humans have been published, but many medical, ethical, and social problems and risks of UTx require discussion prior to widespread clinical application, from the perspectives of donors, recipients, families, and newborns. In this article, we summarize the burdens and risks of UTx, with a focus on donors who provide the uterus.
子宫移植(UTx)是绝对子宫性不孕患者的一种替代妊娠代孕和收养的方法。该技术已经在动物中进行了研究,现在已经可以在人类中进行临床应用。目前已经发表了关于人类的程序,但 UTx 存在许多医疗、伦理和社会问题以及风险,需要从供体、受体、家庭和新生儿的角度进行讨论,然后才能广泛应用于临床。本文总结了 UTx 的负担和风险,重点关注提供子宫的供体。
