The surgeons behind the UK’s first womb transplant said they had no intention of using the landmark procedure on trans patients because it is for creating babies, not for feeling “psychological completeness”.
This week it was disclosed that a baby in the UK had been born from a womb transplant for the first time after the work of Professor Richard Smith, a gynaecologist, and Isabel Quiroga-Giraldez, a transplant surgeon.
Amy Isabel was born to Grace Davidson, who became the first woman in the UK to receive a uterus transplant in February 2022, from her older sister.
