Kirsty Bryant could potentially give birth to a baby from the same womb in which she was formed after receiving a uterus transplant from her 53-year-old mother.
Swedish surgeon Mats Brännström, who performed the world's first successful uterus transplantation which led to a live birth, supervised both operations.
Uterus transplants are designed to be temporary and last about five years, giving a woman enough time to have children.Dr Abbott said Ms Hayton's surgery was the "hardest job of the two", lasting roughly 10 hours.The Royal Hospital for Women has approval to conduct six uterine transplant surgeries as part of the clinical trial, which is expected to run for three years.The team hopes to raise enough money to perform a further transplant procedures.
"That's obviously the first step to being able to start planning for an embryo transfer, we are hoping sort of middle of this year, all going well.""That’s the ultimate proof of response," he said.Ms Bryant hoped the successful surgery would pave the way for other women struggling with their fertility journey.
Michelle Hayton's surgery lasted more than 10 hours, according to her medical team, which included Dr Jana Pittman.
