The authors aimed to explore the experiences of women and clinicians during the introduction of uterine transplantation (UTx) in the UK. Through qualitative interviews and observations, the study identified key themes related to the emotional and ethical complexities of decision-making, the development of the UTx program, and the post-operative experiences of recipients.
