About

Dr. Greg J. McKenna is a pioneering transplant surgeon whose research has fundamentally advanced the field of uterus transplantation, offering a revolutionary treatment for women with absolute uterine infertility. His major contributions center on establishing the clinical feasibility and safety of this procedure, culminating in the landmark achievement of the first live birth after uterus transplantation in the United States (2018, 213 citations). Dr. McKenna’s work, primarily through the Dallas UtErus Transplant Study (DUETS), has systematically addressed critical surgical challenges. He has been instrumental in developing and validating a minimally invasive, robot-assisted approach for living donor hysterectomies (2020, 65 citations), demonstrating that this technique can reduce donor recovery time while maintaining excellent graft function and leading to successful live births (2021, 17 citations). His comprehensive reporting of short- and long-term outcomes (2019, 40 citations) has provided the foundational evidence for the safety and efficacy of the procedure, covering medical, sexual, and psychological results. By proving that a robotic donor hysterectomy can achieve technical success and live births, Dr. McKenna has not only expanded surgical options but also paved the way for broader clinical adoption of uterus transplantation, directly impacting the lives of patients with uterine factor infertility.
