Expanding the options for women with absolute uterine factor infertility: quantifying demand for uterine transplant in the northeast united states

Uterus transplantation (UTx) is an evolving curative therapy for uterine factor infertility (UFI). While live births have been achieved at a handful of centers around the world, estimating the need for UTx is essential prior to expansion of this innovative therapy. Reports from uterine transplant programs at Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas and Cleveland Clinic Foundation suggest great interest in UTx from the community. The purpose of this study was to quantify and characterize candidacy and interest in UTx at a high-volume transplant center in the Northeast.
