About

Dr. Mariona Rius is a pioneering reproductive surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of assisted reproductive technology and uterine transplantation. She led the team that achieved the first viable uterine transplant in Southern Europe (2020, 27 citations), a landmark case that opened new pathways for women with uterine factor infertility. Building on this success, Dr. Rius advanced the field by performing the first donor robotic-assisted laparoscopy for uterus transplantation (2022, 3 citations), demonstrating how minimally invasive techniques can reduce donor morbidity and expand access to this life-changing procedure. Most recently, she made headlines with the world’s first babies conceived through Automated Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (2023, 33 citations), a breakthrough that automates a delicate step in IVF, potentially increasing consistency and reducing human error. Her work has been cited over 60 times, reflecting its immediate impact on clinical practice. Dr. Rius’s contributions are not only technical—they represent a shift toward more reproducible, scalable solutions in reproductive medicine, offering hope to patients who previously had limited options.
