As a transplantation surgeon, I celebrate and admire the success of uterus transplantation and birth after uterus transplantation. It was brought about by the scientific achievement in organ transplantation. But, as the history of uterus transplantation is short, many key issues on it remain unresolved. Living donor or cadaveric donor, age of donor, operation for hysterectomy in living or cadaveric donor, preservation time of uterus, histocompatibility, immunosuppressive drugs, diagnosis and treatment of rejection, problems in the newborn baby, medical cost and comparison with surrogate conception are discussed.
