Robotic-assisted surgery in live-donor uterus transplantation

The video by Fornalik and Fornalik on robotic-assisted uterus transplantation (1) is of interest in the developing field of uterus transplantation (UTx). It relates to infertility treatment of women with absolute uterine factor infertility, with either uterine absence (congenital/surgical) or abnormalities (anatomic/functional) that impede implantation of an embryo or completion of a pregnancy. This condition has been untreatable until recently; in our report of a birth occurring in 2014 (2), UTx proved to be an effective treatment.
