About

Dr. Nawar Latif is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of reproductive and gynecologic oncology. Her primary research areas center on uterus transplantation and minimally invasive surgical techniques for gynecologic cancers. Dr. Latif’s major contributions include her leadership in the United States Uterus Transplant Consortium, where her landmark 2023 study, "The First 5 Years of Uterus Transplant in the US," documented the first successful series of uterine transplants in the country, offering new hope to women with absolute uterine-factor infertility (AUFI)—a condition affecting 1 in 500 women previously considered untreatable. This work has garnered 12 citations and established a critical framework for counseling and clinical protocols. Additionally, her 2021 analysis of the National Cancer Database on minimally invasive hysterectomy for stage IA cervical carcinoma (11 citations) provided vital survival data that informs surgical decision-making. Dr. Latif’s research bridges cutting-edge reproductive technology and evidence-based cancer care, demonstrating profound impact on both fertility restoration and oncological outcomes. Her achievements position her as a leading voice in advancing surgical options for women facing complex reproductive health challenges.
