Technological Advancements in Uterus Transplantation

Uterus transplantation is barely a decade old and in a young, evolving field it is hard to identify technological advances since it is, in of itself, a technological advance. Nonetheless, one can still identify advances in diagnostic imaging that have improved donor screening to avoid graft losses, highlight the adoption of robotic surgery to make the living donor uterus procurement more minimally invasive, and look to a future of biotechnology like perfusion pumps and bioengineering such as synthetic uterus to increase donor supply. Additional technologies are on the horizon and promise to shape the field further.

Automated summary

Uterus transplantation is a relatively new field, and it is difficult to identify specific technological advances. However, there have been improvements in donor screening through diagnostic imaging, the adoption of robotic surgery for minimally invasive procedures, and future advancements in biotechnology such as perfusion pumps and bioengineering for increased donor supply.
