The Hospital Clínic of Barcelona has attended the birth of the first woman transplanted from a uterus in Spain. The baby, named Jesus, is the result of "a very hard process at the same time as very beautiful" that "has been worth it despite all the risks" The patient went to the hospital in 2020 with Rokitansky syndrome, a congenital disorder of the female reproductive system that affects 1 in 5,000 women in the world.
The intervention is part of an experimental program through which the Clinic obtained permission to perform a total of five uterus transplants.
