The worlds first uterus transplantaion from mother to daughter: Mats Brännström at TEDxGöteborg

Last autumn in Göteborg. After 20 hours of surgery a womb has been donated from a mother to her daughter -- born lacking the organ essential for her ability to also become a mother. Uterine infertility is regarded as the last unconquered frontier in infertility treatment today. Will this transplanted womb be able to carry a pregnancy? The international team of surgeons was lead by Mats Brännström, occupied by this challenge since 1999. Hear his own words on this world unique surgical endeavour.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
