Talk:Uterus transplantation

This
This article unfortunately contains many phrases which may come across as biased, or scientifically inaccurate. If you're editing this, please try and improve some of wording, as I have. It would be much improved if there was less focus on the author's view of moral implications, and more on scientific data. Thanks in advance, everyone.--Grendlefuzz 01:05, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

A google search for "Edwin Ramirez" and "New York Medical College" yields 2 results: this article and a myspace account. This brings into serious doubt whether such a person actually exists. Combined with the loaded language, poor quality, and general inaccuracies of this article, this calls for severe revisions and causes me to doubt many of the claims presented here. I am currently working with another wikipedia user on fixing this, but I'd appreciate it if others could continue to do the same.--Grendlefuzz 01:32, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

I think the implications for male-to-female transsexuals should be addressed; however, I don't believe I'm qualified to explore those myself, since I have no idea how the transplantation of a uterus into an originally male body would work (or if it would work).

Changed references and added the Swedish project. The Swedish project is generally verified and cited using scientific journals. The Turkish attempts are generally cited using internet tabloids. This needs to be corrected since they have published in peer-reviewed journals as well. Removed the references to "Ramirez"Silastic (talk) 22:35, 24 September 2014 (UTC). Some references are duplicated and need to be corrected.Silastic (talk) 22:45, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

History section: Grigor've or Grigor'ev? Did what or had what done to?
This sentence has a lot of problems: "In 1896 Knauer published the first study of ovarian transplantation and Grigor’ve that lead to the investigation of uterine auto-transplantation in 1918." A Google search shows that Grigor've should probably be Grigor'ev, but I could not confirm this spelling. Even more unfortunately, without a first name and correct spelling I was not able to find out exactly who this Grigor'ev was nor what Grigor'ev did or had done to her or him. There are a surprisingly large number of Grigor'evs out there.

So, I'll remove Grigor've & put it and Grigor'ev in a comment, which will at least leave the sentence making sense. I apologize for leaving the rest of this article's referencing & editing up to someone else, but I am chronically ill so I have no choice, especially since I already spent too much time editing today.

Thanks for your hard work, especially to whoever picks up where I had to leave off! Geekdiva (talk) 15:46, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I think I found the right one: Grigorieff, W.: Die Schwangerschaft bei der Transplantation der Eierstöcke. Centralbl. f. Gynäk. 1897. No. 22. S. 663. Grigorieff, W.: K'Woprosu o transplantocii jaitschnikow. Dissertation. St. Petersburg 1897. First one means: The pregnancy in case of ovarian transplantation. Second one: To the question of transplantation of the ovary. But I could not find the original papers but only citations. So I don't know what he exactly did at which animal.--Hic et nunc (talk) 22:21, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

Swedish uterine transplants
In the light of the recent news (January 2014) of 9 successful "womb transplants" in Sweden, it seems to me the article should be updated. Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 14:28, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

How many of the swedish transplants where uterus only an dhow many also included ovary? Esp the Eriksson (the first one)? --Simon19800 (talk) 05:28, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

Confino et al (1986)
I replaced "Confino et al (1986)" with a full cite, but I'm not sure I chose the right one. There are three which appear here. Perhaps it's another one? Martinevans123 (talk) 21:04, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Indian sources
In the section about the Indian Cases, footnote 36 and "at Galaxy Care Hospital (...)" seems to refer to the transplant, but is at the end of the sentence about the first birth. The link to the article about the birth seems to be down. 85.229.130.217 (talk) 08:16, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
