ABSTRACT
Uterus transplantation (UTx) is currently the only available treatment for absolute uterine factor infertility. The International Society of Uterus Transplantation (ISUTx) was formally founded in 2017 and joined the Transplantation Society as a formal section in 2021. The Third International Congress of the ISUTx was held in Tübingen, Germany, in October 2021, as a hybrid meeting, attended virtually by about 450 delegates and in person by 35 delegates. This report summarizes the Tübingen meeting and complementary topics of relevance presented at the Second ISUTx state-of-the-art webinar meeting, held in Prague, in October 2020. Main topics covered included surgical considerations, including dissection of veins in living donors and the pros and cons of minimally invasive surgery; managing immune risks; UTx during the COVID-19 pandemic; lessons learnt in the areas of imaging and cytomegalovirus infection; long-term psychological outcomes; opportunities to increase organ availability; and new horizons in UTx, including potential reuse of transplants and the utilization of robotic approaches. Implementation of an International UTx Registry was discussed and considered crucial to assure quality, safety, and further progress in UTx. Attempts made thus far have been promising.
