About

E. Colin Koon is a pioneering transplant surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of uterus transplantation as a viable treatment for absolute uterine factor infertility — a condition affecting women who are either born without a uterus or possess one that is nonfunctional. As a key contributor to the Dallas UtErus Transplant Study (DUETS), Koon has helped shape both the clinical and surgical landscape of this emerging discipline. His most celebrated contribution came in 2018, when he co-authored the landmark report of the first live birth following uterus transplantation in the United States, a paper that has since garnered over 213 citations and brought international attention to the field. Beyond this milestone, Koon has championed the adoption of robotic-assisted surgical techniques for donor hysterectomy, demonstrating that minimally invasive approaches can reduce donor recovery time without compromising recipient outcomes — work reflected across multiple DUETS publications accumulating over 120 citations collectively. His ongoing research into graft hysterectomy techniques underscores a commitment to optimizing the full transplantation cycle, establishing him as a leading voice in reproductive transplant surgery.
