Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In France, one in 4500 women is affected by the MayerRokitantskyKüsterHauser (MRKH) syndrome which is characterized by the absence of uterus at birth. Currently, the only solutions for these patients are:

* Gestational surrogacy, prohibited in France
* Adoption
* Resignation

Uterine transplantation could become a good alternative.

This study is conducted in 10 patients with MRKH type I syndrome, who will be transplanted from a living donor uterus

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The aim of the study is to obtain a pregnancy after uterine transplantation from a living donor. Also, this study will assess (anatomically and functionally) the issue of the transplants of a uterus taken from a living donor and the safety of the living donor (functionally and psychologically)
