A Woman Is Pregnant Following a Robot-Assisted Uterus Transplant

For a woman born without a healthy uterus, or without a uterus at all, the dream of giving birth to a baby used to be unattainable. But in 2014, a woman gave birth to a baby after receiving a  uterus transplant. Since then, 12 others have followed in her footsteps.
On Wednesday, researchers announced that a patient who underwent a uterine transplant assisted by robots - which researchers say sharply decreased risks associated with the futuristic procedure - is now pregnant, with the baby due this spring. If all goes well with that delivery, the baby will be the firstborn following a robot-assisted uterine transplant - but likely not the last.
