Of the 75 full-text articles assessed for eligibility, 68 were included in the qualitative synthesis. Of these, 9 were included in the meta-analysis on living donor uterine transplant, 5 on deceased donor uterine transplant, and 6 case reports of single uterine transplants. In conclusion, uterus transplant is a nascent field undergoing a rapid rate of evolution as programs mature their data and increase the number of procedures performed. The most recent publications and advances are thus summarized in this article to capture the most up-to-date information.
