About

Klaus Groth is a pioneering surgeon and researcher in the field of uterus transplantation (UTx), a groundbreaking treatment for absolute uterine factor infertility. His work centers on refining surgical techniques to improve donor safety and recipient outcomes, with a particular focus on minimally invasive approaches. Groth's major contributions include leading the Swedish live donor robotic uterus transplantation trial, where he developed and evolved the surgical steps for robotics-assisted donor hysterectomy. His most-cited paper, "Live birth after robotic‐assisted live donor uterus transplantation" (2020, 64 citations), documents the first live birth achieved using this innovative robotic technique, marking a significant milestone in reproductive surgery. Two other highly cited works—"Outcome of Recipient Surgery and 6-Month Follow-Up" (56 citations) and "Evolution of surgical steps in robotics-assisted donor surgery" (54 citations)—detail the trial's recipient outcomes and the iterative refinement of the surgical method. Collectively, these studies demonstrate Groth's impact in advancing UTx from a proof-of-concept to a viable clinical option, with his work accumulating over 170 citations. His achievements underscore a commitment to reducing surgical trauma for donors while ensuring successful transplantation, positioning him as a leader in reproductive transplantation and robotic surgery.
