In a report compiled by the association's review panel, it said such transplants will be limited to a small number of cases. The procedure involves transplanting the uterus of a living donor to a woman who lacks a uterus so that she can give birth.

A team at Keio University now plans to carry out a clinical trial of a uterine transplant. Under the procedure, egg retrieval will be performed on the patient in advance, fertilized in-vitro, and then frozen for storage. The embryos will be later implanted inside the transplanted uterus. While it is hoped uterine transplants will provide these women with a new option to have children, there are still many issues left to be resolved, including whether it is appropriate to perform a hysterectomy on a healthy woman, and the unknown side effects of immunosuppressive drugs, administered to suppress organ rejection, on a fetus.
