A child was born from a transplanted uterus which was both removed and implanted using robot surgery in a world-first operation.
The boy, weighing six pounds 13 ounces, was born by planned caesarean two weeks early. Both mother, 35, the child and the organ donor, who is a relative, are doing well.
The world-leading research team at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, operated on both women entirely by means of robot-assisted keyhole surgery with no open-surgery stage.
