Expert comments for publication:
The initial 11 human uterus transplantation (UTx) attempts and their outcomes published in the scientific literature are described in detail in this paper (review period 2000-2013). A future extension of UTx, i.e. the creation of a bioengineered uterus, is also commented. New clinical trials in order to accumulate data to further optimize the procedure in relation to safety and efficiency are needed. In this regard, the creation of a global registry to follow donors, recipients and children born after UTx is central.
