- To perform a stepwise development of the surgical method for robotics-assisted laparoscopy in donor hysterectomy for uterus transplantation (UTx), a unique treatment for absolute uterine-factor infertility.Prospective observational study.University hospital.Eight donors, aged 38-62 years, underwent surgery for retrieval of the uterus and vasculature.Robotics-assisted laparoscopy was performed in donors for 6-7 h with video recording. Conversion to laparotomy was performed for last parts of retrieval surgery.Description, evaluation, and timing of 12 specific surgical steps, as well as surgical outcomes and complications.There was a progression during the course of eight surgeries. In the initial two cases, seven and six items were completed with robotics compared with all 12 items in the last three procedures. The passive surgical time decreased from ∼20% in the first four cases to ∼8% in the last three procedures. The estimated median (range) blood loss, total surgical time, and length of hospital stay were, respectively, 125 mL (100-600), 11.25 h (10-13), and 5.5 days (5-6). Two reversible complications occurred: One patient acquired pressure alopecia, and one developed pyelonephritis.The study demonstrates a clear evolution of a strategy toward fully robotic donor surgery in UTx. This is likely to become the main approach in donor surgery of live UTx donors.NCT02987023.

- Objective: To evaluate reproductive, obstetric, and long-term health of the first completed study of uterus transplantation (UTx). Design: Prospective. Setting: University hospital. Patient(s): Nine live donor UTx procedures were conducted and seven were successful. Donors, recipients, and children born were observed. Intervention(s): In vitro fertilization was performed with embryo transfer (ET) of day 2 or day 5 embryos in natural cycles. Pregnancies and growth trajectory of the children born were observed. Health-related quality of life, psychosocial outcome, and medical health of donors and recipients were evaluated by questionnaires. Main Outcome Measure(s): The results of in vitro fertilization, pregnancies, growth of children, and long-term health of patients were reported. Result(s): Six women delivered nine infants, with three women giving birth twice (cumulative birth rates of 86% and 67% in surgically successful and performed transplants, respectively). The overall clinical pregnancy rate (CPR) and live birth rate (LBR) per ET were 32.6% and 19.6%, respectively. For day 2 embryos, the CPR and LBR per ET were 12.5% and 8.6%, respectively. For day 5 embryos, the CPR and LBR per ET were 81.8% and 45.4%, respectively. Fetal growth and blood flow were normal in all pregnancies. Time of delivery (median in full pregnancy weeks + days [ranges]) by cesarean section and weight deviations was 35 + 3 (31 + 6 to 38 + 0) and -1% (-13% to 23%), respectively. Three women developed preeclampsia and four neonates acquired respiratory distress syndrome. All children were healthy and followed a normal growth trajectory. Measures of long-term health in both donors and recipients were noted to be favorable. When UTx resulted in a birth, scores for anxiety, depression, and relationship satisfaction were reassuring for both the donors and recipients. Conclusion(s): The results of this first complete UTx trial show that this is an effective infertility treatment, resulting in births of healthy children and associated with only minor psychological and medical long-term effects for donors and recipients. Clinical Trial Registration Number: NCT02987023.
