About

Dr. Johanna Bayer is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of uterus transplantation, offering new hope to women with uterine factor infertility. As a key figure in the Dallas UtErus Transplant Study (DUETS), her research focuses on refining surgical techniques to improve both donor safety and recipient outcomes. Dr. Bayer’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and benefits of robot-assisted hysterectomy for living uterus donors, a minimally invasive approach that significantly reduces donor recovery time. Her landmark 2020 paper, which has garnered 65 citations, detailed the early outcomes and complications of this robotic technique, establishing a new standard of care. This work was further validated in a 2021 subanalysis, which reported both technical success and live births following robotic procurement, accumulating 17 citations. Additionally, her comprehensive 2019 report (40 citations) provided crucial 6-month and 2-year outcome data, including medical, sexual, and psychological results from the first cohort of living donors. Through these studies, Dr. Bayer has not only proven the safety and efficacy of robotic donor hysterectomy but has also paved the way for broader clinical adoption of uterus transplantation, directly transforming the lives of patients and their families.
