Summary

Uterine transplantation to date is still an experimental technique, and a lot of future research is necessary to confirm its success and safety. Although indications for its use will have to be defined once it is accepted in cis women, in the future however it could very well be that uterine transplantation will be a possibility for all women with uterine factor infertility, including trans women. This chapter deals with the prerequisites and limitations of potential uterine transplantation in transwomen.
