A Novel Anastomotic Technique for Uterine Transplant Using Utero-ovarian Veins for Venous Drainage and Internal Iliac Arteries for Perfusion in Two Laparoscopically Harvested Uteri

ConclusionBy using ovarian veins as outflow channels, the challenges involved in dissection along the internal iliac vein are avoided, and harvesting the donor internal iliac artery reduces the tension on vascular anastomosis. The selection of vessels to be harvested could make the technique reproducible, though larger studies are warranted to confirm results.
