Uterus transplantation (UTx) is now a possible approach for women with absolute uterine factor infertility to deliver a child, following the first successful delivery by Brännström et al. in Sweden in September 2014. This remarkable achievement attracted major attention worldwide and caused many countries to prepare for UTx, including countries in Asia. To date, three groups have performed UTx in humans in Asia, and many others are aiming for the clinical application of UTx with accumulation of basic experimental data. Therefore, it is likely that UTx will expand rapidly in Asia in the near future, although this will depend on ethical, social and religious views in each country. With this background, herein we summarize the current progress of UTx in East, Southeast and South Asia, with the purpose of increasing understanding of the current status of basic and clinical UTx research in each country and sharing progress and knowledge to ensure future development of UTx research in Asia.
子宫移植（UTx）现在是患有绝对子宫因素不孕症的女性生育孩子的一种可行方法，自2014年9月Brännström等人在瑞典首次成功分娩以来。这一非凡成就引起了全球的广泛关注，并促使许多国家，包括亚洲国家，为子宫移植做准备。迄今为止，亚洲有三个团队已在人体上进行了子宫移植，还有许多其他团队正通过积累基础实验数据，致力于子宫移植的临床应用。因此，子宫移植在不久的将来可能会在亚洲迅速推广，不过这将取决于每个国家的伦理、社会和宗教观念。在此背景下，我们在此总结东亚、东南亚和南亚子宫移植的当前进展，目的是增进对每个国家子宫移植基础和临床研究现状的了解，并分享进展和知识，以确保亚洲子宫移植研究的未来发展。
