WTN- A mother who received a uterus transplant from a dead donor in September 2016 gave birth to a baby girl in Sao Paolo.

The whole field of uterus transplantation is in its early days. But researchers said that if transplant teams can reliably use uteruses from deceased donors, it could expand the availability of organs and reduce living donors’ risks during surgery to remove the uterus.
