if any woman removed her womb ....can it be tranplanted or not?

Answer 1

I would guess that it could be transplanted, into a woman of exactly the same "tissue type". This person would be so similar, in the antigens on her cells (other than Red Blood Cells) that she could be a bone marrow donor for the other. With such a good match, I guess the organ would survive in the recipients.


But.

But .... why would you do it? Each woman would undergo really major surgery ... for what good? None, IMO. I would not expect the uterus to "work" in the recipient, in the normal way.... I mean, without yet more medical / surgical intervention, using "in vitro fertilisation".... or without this other way:


You see, you would need to consider the Fallopian Tubes. If you sever the uterus from those of the donor, and re- attach the uterus to those of the recipient, the scar tissue at the "join" would make ectopic pregnancy very likely, AFAIK. After all, it is (AFAIK) the scar tissue from "pelvic inflammatory disease" that leads to this increased risk, at present. AFAIK, the most common cause of PID was untreated infections by Chlamydia species, that was possibly not even diagnosed / recognised, at the time. [Modern Pathology techniques CAN diagnose it!]

So, let's not cut the Fallopian tubes, hey?

Then, will we transplant the whole unit; the ovaries, Fallopian Tubes and uterus? That may work, but I guess you would need a dead donor; if she was alive, removing both her ovaries will send her into menopause.

How about leaving her ONE ovary, and transplanting her other ovary, and its Fallopian Tube, attached to the uterus?

Reckon you can cut them out, and put them into the recipient, without damaging them such that they fail/ generate only ectopic pregnancy???


I don't!

Answer 2

No,it should not transplanted.
