About
Briget da Graca is a leading translational researcher whose work bridges surgical innovation and reproductive medicine, with a primary focus on uterus transplantation (UTx). As a key contributor to the Dallas Uterus Transplant Study (DUETS), she has helped pioneer minimally invasive techniques that expand access to this emerging field. Her landmark 2021 study demonstrated that robotic-assisted donor hysterectomy with transvaginal extraction yields technical success and live births, significantly reducing recovery time for living donors—a breakthrough that has reshaped surgical protocols. Da Graca’s 2023 perspective piece traces how decades of surgical research in vascular anastomosis and immunosuppression have culminated in UTx as a viable clinical field, offering a roadmap for future implementation. With her work accumulating over 28 citations from these highly influential papers, she has established herself as a critical voice in the ethical and procedural evolution of uterine transplantation. Her contributions not only advance surgical technique but also provide the foundational scholarship needed to integrate UTx into mainstream reproductive medicine, making her a vital figure for students and researchers interested in the intersection of transplantation, robotics, and women’s health.
