Surgeons are confused by a “amazing” medical penetration as the first woman in the UK became born after the uterine transplant.
Grace Davidson, 36, who was a teenager when she was diagnosed with a rare condition that she did not have a womb, said that she and her husband, Angus, 37, had obtained “the greatest gift we can ask.”
They named their five-week girl Amy Isabel-after Grace’s sister, Amy Burdi, who donated her womb during an eight-hour operation in 2023, and Isabelle Keruja, the surgeon who helped master the transplant technique.
Davidson said she was shocked when she detained her daughter for the first time, which was born by the Caesarean NHS department planned on February 27 at Queen Charlotte Hospital and Chelsea Hospital in London. She said, “It was difficult to believe she was real. I knew it was ours, but it was difficult to believe.”
Davidson said that the couple were always “calm hope” that the uterine transplant will be successful and enable them to start a family. “But it was not the case until I got that the truth of the matter was drowned.”
Development will offer a new hope for women born without uterus or uterine failure at work. Three other transplants have been carried out in the United Kingdom, using dead donors, with doctors in the hope that the beneficiaries of this uterus have children.
About 10 other women go through the approval of the uterine transplant of 25,000 pounds in the United Kingdom, but hundreds of other hundreds of interest in the program, which is funded by Womb Transplant UK.
The Charitable Society has permission for 10 dead donor transplants and five donor transplants. It hopes that NHS will provide funding in the future.
The arrival of Amy Isabelle, 25, follows the leading research led by Professor Richard Smith, the clinical lead in the charity, which was in the theater of operations with Kiruja when the child was delivered 2.04 kg (4.5 pounds).
“I really feel cheerful, unbelievable – 25 years away from this research, we have finally a child, Little Emmy Isabelle. Stunning, really amazing,” Smith told Pa Media.
“There were a lot of tears he all gave in this process – completely emotional, definitely. It’s really something.”
“For me, it is a complete joy, joy. I was not happier for Angus and Ris, what a wonderful couple. It was actually overwhelming, it’s still great,” said Kiruja, a consulting surgeon at the Oxford Antipathic Center, a part of Oxford University Hospitals.
Davidson, a NHS dietitian from North London, was born at Mair Rockanky-Kutstree Hauser syndrome, a rare condition that affects one out of every 5,000 women, which means that they have a backward or missing uterus. The ovaries remain intact and are still working to produce eggs and female hormones, however, which makes pregnancy by treating fertility.
Before receiving the donor uterus, Davidson and her husband had fertility treatment to create seven embryos, which were frozen for industrial pollination in central London.
In February 2023, surgery to receive the uterus from Bordi, 42, has two girls between 10 and six. After several months, one of the embryos stored by artificial insemination was transferred to Davidson.
Angos Davidson said the moment his daughter arrived was very emotional. He said: “After waiting for this long time, it is strange that your head wanders that this is the moment you will meet your daughter.
“The room was full of people who helped us on the trip to Amy. We were a kind of suppression of feelings, and perhaps for 10 years, and don’t know how it would be released – the ugly cry, it turns out!
“The room was full of love and joy and all of these people who had a firm interest in Amy for incredible medical and scientific reasons. But the lines between that and the love of our family and my domination are not very clear – I felt as if it were a room full of love.
“The moment we saw it was incredible, and both collapsed in emotional tears.”
Burdi said that watching her sister and her son -in -law became a parent of “absolute joy” and “deserved every moment” when he went through to donate her womb.
Davidson took immunosuppressive inhibitors as she was pregnant to ensure that her body did not refuse her sister. She said she definitely wanted to have another child.
More than 100 uterine transplants have been carried out all over the world, with at least 50 children were believed to have been born as a result.
The first successful birth after the transplant It signed in Sweden in 2014With the child-Vennant-I had a 36-year-old woman described it as “perfect”.
