Uterus transplantation (UTx) has emerged as a revolutionary treatment for absolute uterine factor infertility, made possible by extensive preclinical research. Animal studies have played a pivotal role in advancing UTx to clinical practice. We highlight Japan's contribution, including non-human primate research and regulatory progress, leading to its anticipated clinical implementation. The expansion of UTx in the Asia-Oceania region underscores its global impact. Further refinements in surgical techniques, optimization of immunosuppressive regimens, and establishment of clear patient eligibility criteria will be crucial for ensuring the long-term success and sustainability of UTx programs worldwide. This letter acknowledges the Swedish team's foundational efforts in establishing UTx as a viable reproductive technology.
